The Mark (Waypoint) Page

Waypoints are the coordinates of user-selected specific geographical or man-made objects along

the route you are taking to your destination or endpoint. Geographical objects could be a lake, pond,

hill, etc., while a man-made object could be a barn, house, electric tower, etc. Each of these

objects along your way can be marked and stored in your GPS unit so that your return path is

plainly marked and can be retraced easily. The MARK page appears whenever the Mark (M) button is

momentarily pressed; this page presents the options of SAVEing the waypoint, transmitting (SEND)

the waypoint or accessing a MAP VIEW (on the map page) of the waypoint in question. If the send

option is used, your present location (coordinates) is transmitted to another GMR-GPS unit so it

knows where you are. The following display appears when the Mark (M) button is momentarily pressed:

The Mark Page

The page displays the following information:

1. Waypoint Symbols - There are 38 symbols representing common items and structures

that can be chosen to represent a waypoint on the Map and Pointer pages. These

symbols can be geographic or man-made objects.

2. Waypoint Name - Six alphanumeric characters are available to describe or represent a

waypoint; usually, just three characters are sufficient unless you wish to give the waypoint

a name (ID), followed by the number of the waypoint (001, 002, etc.).

3. Waypoint Coordinates:

a. Latitude - Latitude is a position resting North or South of the Equator. The user can

edit the displayed Latitude position.

b. Longitude - Longitude is a position resting East or West of the Prime Meridian. The

user can edit the displayed Longitude position.

NOTE: The displayed Latitude and Longitude represents the last known position. This

positional information can be saved by pressing the Mark (M) button, using the

Up/Down wheel key switch to highlight the SAVE selection, and pressing Enter.
