Waypoint Submenus

The GPS 152' s Main Menu Page features three waypoint submenu tabs, 'By Name', 'Nearest', and

'Proximity', that let you manage a large number of waypoints quickly and efﬁ ciently. The submenu tabs

also provide a continuously updated nearest waypoints list and a proximity waypoint alarm function

that can be used to deﬁ ne an alarm circle around submerged hazards, shallow waters, etc..

To access the Main Menu Page/Waypoint (Wpt) submenus:

1. Press MENU twice, then highlight the 'Wpt' tab using the ARROW KEYPAD, then highlight the

desired submenu tab.

By Name Waypoint List

The ﬁ rst waypoint submenu list available from the 'Wpt' tab is the 'By Name' list, which displays

a master list of all waypoints currently stored in memory. From the By Name list, you may review,

edit, rename or delete individual waypoints, or delete all user waypoints. The total number of stored

and available waypoints is displayed at the bottom of the 'By Name' page, with the stored waypoints

arranged in numerical/alphabetical order.

The following options are available from the 'By Name' submenu of the 'Wpt' tab:

• New Waypoint— creates a new waypoint.

• Delete Waypoint— deletes selected waypoint from list and any route in which it was used.

• Delete by Symbol— deletes waypoints that use the same symbol.

• Delete All— deletes all waypoints from the unit.

Once a waypoint is deleted from the list, it cannot be recovered from the unit. It is

advisable to backup important waypoints to a computer using an optional PC cable and

interface software or write them down manually.
