MAIN PAGES > MAP PAGE
Use the map pointer to create new waypoints directly from the
map.
To create a waypoint with the map pointer:
1. Use the ROCKER to move the map pointer to the map
location.
2. Press ENTER, and the New Map Waypoint window
appears. (Do not hold down ENTER. Pressing and holding
ENTER will mark a waypoint at your present position not at
the map pointer’s position.) If the map pointer is on a map
item, press ENTER, and a new window with details about
the item appears.
3. Press ENTER again on the highlighted Create Wpt option.
4. Press ENTER to confirm the new waypoint using the default
four-digit name and symbol.
For more information about waypoints, see page 8.

To select a map zoom range:
Press the RANGE Up key to zoom out and the RANGE
Down key to zoom in.
NOTE: The zoom range value represents the distance from one
