enter data in any order into new waypoint fields—just
press the CURSOR PAD left or right to highlight a
particular field. If you make a mistake while entering data
to these fields, press the CLEAR ENTRY key to clear the
current field, then resume editing.
To enter a waypoint symbol, highlight the SYMBOL field,
then press the LEFT ARROW and RIGHT ARROW keys to
select the desired symbol.
To access the waypoint DESCRIPTION field, which is
displayed near the bottom of the screen, either press the
CURSOR PAD to the right after highlighting the

CANCEL to cancel and return to the WAYPOINTS screen).
The new waypoint is now permanently stored; however,
you can edit or erase it any time.
Copying and changing an existing waypoint
If a new waypoint will be similar to an existing one, you can
copy the existing waypoint, then change its characteristics to
create a new waypoint.
To copy and change an existing waypoint:
1. At the WAYPOINTS screen, press the CURSOR PAD up or
down to highlight the waypoint you want to copy, then
press the COPY key.
A duplicate waypoint is created just above the highlighted
waypoint, and the flashing cursor goes to the NAME field.
You must change this name so that the new waypoint
doesn't have the same name as the copied
one—duplicate waypoints are not allowed.
2. Press the CURSOR PAD left or right to move from field to
field, making any changes as desired. If necessary, press
the RESTORE key to recopy the field you're currently
editing.
