Eagle Electronics 12 manual Edit Lat/Lon, Waypoint Names

Edit Lat/Lon

The AccuMap 12 lets you enter any latitude/longi- tude using the keyboard and save it under any waypoint number, from 1 to 250. You can also change any waypoint’s position using this method. To do this, first select the waypoint number. When you select the USER WPTs menu, the GPS re- ceiver places you at the last-used waypoint num- ber. If you want to save the location under a differ- ent waypoint number, press the up arrow key until

the black box is on the “WPT #” label. Now press the left or right arrow keys until the desired waypoint number appears. In this example, we moved it to waypoint number twelve.

When the desired waypoint number is showing, highlight the “EDIT LAT/LON” label, then press the right arrow key.The screen shown at right appears. To enter the latitude, simply move the black box using the right and left arrow keys, then press the up or down arrow keys until the desired number appears. If you make a mistake, simply move the black box back to the number you need to change, and change it. If you want to change the entire lati-

tude number, press the WPT key to erase it and start over. To exit com- pletely out of this screen without saving the position, press the EXIT key.

When the latitude is the way you want it, press the right arrow key to move the black box to the longi- tude. Now enter the longitude.

When you’re ready to save this position and return to the waypoint screen, press the ENT key. The location you entered shows at the bottom of the screen under the waypoint number you selected.

WAYPOINT NAMES

The AccuMap 12 lets you assign a name to each waypoint. The name can have up to twelve char- acters. To name a waypoint, first select the way- point number that you wish to name. (Note: A way- point must have a position stored before you can name it.) Now highlight the “EDIT NAME” label and press the right arrow key. A screen similar to the one at right appears.
