To project a waypoint at a new location, provide the bearing and distance from an
existing waypoint.
1. From the waypoint details page, go to MENU > Location Options > Project
Waypoint.
2. Enter the information for projected waypoint in the Bearing and Distance
fields.
3. Select Move to move the existing waypoint or Create New to mark a new
waypoint at the projected location. Then, press ENTER.
From the waypoint details page, go to MENU > Location Options > Move to
GPS Location.
When you average a waypoint, the PN-60 records a series of GPS readings for
the waypoint's location and averages them to increase the positional accuracy of
the waypoint. As you average the waypoint, the GPS status, coordinates, eleva-
tion, number of readings at the location, and estimated accuracy display. Multiple
readings improve the positional accuracy of the waypoint. The estimated accuracy
number decreases as the accuracy improves.
From the waypoint details page, go to MENU > Location Options > Average
Waypoint. When the device has recorded the number of readings you want,
press ENTER.
Tip Average your location during multiple visits, at different times of the day to
get the best results. Always place the device in the same location to average the
waypoint.
