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 be recalled and used later on for navigation purposes.

You can create a waypoint at the cursor position on the map, or at your current position while you are 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.
