Direction and Speed Screens
The Direction and Speed Screens provide you with numeric information about
the bearing and distance to your destination waypoint, and your current
heading and speed. You can specify kilometers, miles, or nautical miles as the
unit of measurement for the distance, and kilometers per hour, miles per hour,
or knots for the speed.
See "To set the distance unit" and "To set the speed unit" for information
about how to set the units of measurement.

Using the Landmark List
The LMK (landmark) list is like a data bank of locations from which you can
select your waypoints. You can store up to 200 locations in the LMK list for
instant recall when defining your waypoints.
Preset Data
Your GPS watch comes pre-programmed with landmark list data for the
latitudes and longitudes of the world's major mountains. See "LANDMARK
LIST". You can use this data as it is, or you can edit or delete it to suit your
own needs.
Note that once you edit or delete the preset data it cannot be recovered.
Use the procedures under "Editing and Deleting Landmarks" to change the
preset data.
Local names for mountains may differ from those pre-programmed in the
"LANDMARK LIST".
As described under "Datums", latitude and longitude may differ according to
the map datum being employed to produce them. Because of this, the
latitudes and longitudes pre-programmed in the "LANDMARK LIST" may
differ from positions plotted on maps used by you.
To display the LMK list
1. In any mode, press the MENU button to
2. Use L and K to highlight LAND MK.,
3. To exit the LMK list, press MENU to
To display the location of a landmark
1. On the LMK list, use L and K to move the highlighting to the landmark
whose location (latitude and longitude) you want to display.
2. Press J to display the Location Screen.
3. Press H to return to the LMK list.
Press Jor H.

Adding Landmarks to the LMK List
You can store up to 200 landmarks in the LMK list for later recall when you
need them. There are two methods you can use to add a landmark to the
LMK list: registering your current location and manually entering position data.
To add a landmark by registering your current location
While the GPS Mode Position Screen is on the display with the latitude and
longitude of a successful GPS measurement, hold down H for about one
second until the watch beeps and the message SAVE appears at the top of
the screen.
Hold down H.
Position Screen
The position is saved as a landmark, with the current date (month – day) and
time (hour : minutes) as its name.
See "Taking a GPS Measurement" for full details about GPS
measurements.
