• name
• distance from your present position
• bearing
At the WAYPOINTS screen, press the CURSOR PAD left or
right to select the particular sort field (whenever you sort the
waypoints list, you retain the currently selected waypoint).
To show a list of waypoints sorted by symbol—with similar
symbols listed together—press the CURSOR PAD left to
highlight the SYMBOL column (shown at the far left without a
heading). This makes it easy, for example, to see all waypoints
using the fish symbol. To choose the desired symbol, press the
LEFT ARROW and RIGHT ARROW keys below the KEYPAD.

The DISTANCE column is automatically updated as you
continue to navigate. However, the order of the list won't be
