You may delete all data after the cursor that may have been previously stored by press-
ing the [ CLR ] key. You may undo the erased data by pressing the [ ESC ] key just after
erasing.
To determine your position (Longitude/Latitude), use a map with WGS-84 map datum.
Be careful not to mistake sexagesimal form, and decimal form of the map when input-
ting your position (Longitude/Latitude). The relations of sexagesimal form, and deci-
mal form are as follows:
Sexagesimal form x 100 = Decimal form x 60
You may store the position of up to 16 points (4 memories 4 groups). See page 24 of the
FTM-350 Series Operating Manual for details of storing your position.
