NOTE

Search works with mapping and POI data loaded in the unit. If you have not loaded a MMC for the area you are searching, you may not find anything.

Set a Waypoint

A waypoint is simply an electronic "address," based on the latitude and longitude of a position on the earth. A waypoint represents a location, spot or destination that can be stored in memory, then recalled for navigational purposes.

While you are navigating, you can create a waypoint at the cursor position on the map or at your current position. A waypoint can be created at any location by manually entering the position's latitude and longitude. It is also possible to copy waypoints from your unit to your personal computer with MapCreate software. When you want to repeat a trip, these archived waypoints can be reloaded into your GPS unit.

To create and save a Waypoint

These first two techniques use the Quick Save method, the fastest and easiest way to create a waypoint.

Create Waypoint at Current Position

While you are traveling, press WPTWPT. The waypoint is saved and automatically given a name with a sequential number, such as "waypoint 003." The waypoint symbol and number appear on the map.
