Waypoints Page - DeLorme Earthmate PN-60 GPS User Manual

Waypoints Page

A waypoint is a location that you mark and store using the PN-60. You can also transfer waypoint files to the PN-60.
Waypoints are identified by coordinates, and you can assign a symbol, name, and other information to them. The
Waypoints Page lets you view a list of the active waypoints on your PN-60. Waypoints are active when you:
• Open a waypoint file
• Mark a new waypoint
For information about geocache waypoints, see Geocaches Page on page 33.
Managing Waypoint Files
Waypoints are managed using GPX files; each file can contain up to 1,500 waypoints. For more information about GPX
files, see File Management on page 58.
Tip
Use Find to quickly locate a waypoint in the open waypoint file. For more information, see Find Page on page 24.
Waypoints List
The Waypoints Page displays a list of waypoints from the GPX file open on your device. The file name and the number
of waypoints in the file appear at the top of the page. When you highlight a waypoint in the list, the Bearing and
Distance info fields display measurements as follows:
• From the GPS position when the device has a GPS fix.
• From the cursor location if you are manually panning the map.
• From the map center if the GPS receiver is turned off.
Sorting the List
There are two ways to sort your list of waypoints—by distance from your GPS location or alphabetically by name.
To change the sorting method, press MENU, highlight the sorting method to use and press ENTER. If the file has a
large number of waypoints, press ENTER to interrupt the sorting process and see a partial list.
