Set a Waypoint

A waypoint is an electronic address based on the latitude and longitude of a position on the earth. It represents a location, spot or destination that can be stored in memory, then recalled and used later on for navi- gation purposes.

You can create a waypoint at the cursor position on the map or at your current position while navigating. You can create a waypoint at any location by manually entering the position's latitude and longitude. You can 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.
