Projecting a Waypoint

You can also create a new waypoint by “projecting” the distance and bearing from a specific location to a new location.

2.Press MENU twice to open the Main Menu.

3.Highlight Points from the vertical list of tabs using the

ROCKER.

4.Press MENU to open the New Waypoint Page options menu.

5.Highlight Project Location, and press ENTER.

6.To change the location from which you are projecting the new waypoint, highlight the From field, and press ENTER. The Find Menu opens.

Select the point from which you project you new waypoint just as you would select a waypoint or point of interest. For more information, see the “Finding an Item” section on page 53.

7.To adjust the distance that the new waypoint is projected beyond the original waypoint, highlight the Distance field and press ENTER. Enter the projection distance and press

ENTER.

To adjust the bearing that the new waypoint is projected from the original waypoint, highlight the Bearing field and press ENTER. Enter the bearing, and press ENTER.

8.When you have adjusted all elements of the projected location, highlight Save, and press ENTER.
