Waypoints, Routes & Navigation
Saving an Averaged Position as a Waypoint. The ProMARK X produces
two types of averaged position fixes. It produces AVG, which is the average
of a preset number of fixes or the average of the fixes collected before the
preset number is reached. The unit also produces
average of the last two position fixes until the preset number of fixes has been
reached;
TMP is then the average of AVG and the most recent position fix.
¢
AVG and
TMP are automatically saved as temporary waypoints, and can be
¢
viewed with the WPT key. They are replaced as soon as the unit computes
another AVG or
temporary waypoints or to use them in a route, they must first be copied to
new waypoint names as described in Renaming a Waypoint.
Waypoint AVG can either be copied to another name from the position
display after averaging (with DIF1) is complete, or retrieved from the buffer
with AUX 5. Waypoint
buffer.
As soon as the desired averaged position is displayed, press ENTER. The
unit displays
again. You can also name the averaged waypoint automatically by
pressing ENTER without keying in any characters. The waypoint will be
named in the format "
999, in sequence.
The
is required to identify the position as an averaged position. If you do
¢
not use the mean symbol, the unit will not store the figure of merit or the
number of fixes, and
will have no way to identify this as an averaged position.
Viewing Stored Waypoints. Use the following key sequence to access and
view a waypoint or a saved average position.
Press WPT. Waypoints are accessed
by using RIGHT ARROW to scroll

or by keying in all or part of a waypoint
