Creating a new
waypoint at the
vessel's position
961/962 Operations and Reference Manual, Rev. A
To instantly save your vessel's present position as an
individual waypoint:
1. While in any function (at any screen), press the SAVE key.
The VESSEL POSITION dialog box appears.
2. Use the KEYPAD to enter the new waypoint's name (or
use the default name, *SAVEDXX*). You can use any
characters on the KEYPAD. The name can be from one to
nine characters long, and must be unique.
3. Press the SAVE AS WAYPOINT key (or press the CANCEL
key to cancel). As long as the VESSEL POSITION dialog
box is still on the screen, pressing the SAVE key
again—instead of the SAVE AS WAYPOINT key—has the
same effect as pressing the SAVE AS WAYPOINT key.
The coordinates you just saved are stored, and the screen
you were previously viewing appears. The *SAVEDXX*
waypoint is inserted into the trip as a past waypoint.
To change the symbol for this waypoint, go to the
WAYPOINTS screen and edit the waypoint.
