Zooming, Panning, and Configuring (cont.) From the waypoint definition page, you can also define how each individual waypoint is displayed on the map. The GPS 48 displays waypoints as a name with a corresponding symbol (e.g., "nearest fuel" and a gas pump symbol), a symbol only (e.g., a fish symbol), or a 16-character comment and corresponding symbol (e.g., "great view" and the camp site symbol). The waypoint name has a six character limit while the "comment" field has a 16-character limit, and there are 16 individual waypoint symbols available. To select a waypoint display option: 1. Highlight the "symbol" field (to the right of the name field), and press E. 2. Move the cursor to the 'DISPLAY' field, and press E. 3. Select a display option, and press E to select one of the following display options: 'NAME WITH SYMBOL,' 'SYMBOL ONLY,' or 'COMMENT WITH SYMBOL.' 4. Press E to confirm the 'DONE?' prompt. 5. Press E again (on the waypoint definition page) to return to the Map Page. Using the Cursor to Mark and Go to Waypoints During panning, the crosshair represents a target position right on the Map Page, with the range and bearing to the target displayed at the top corners of the screen. You can use the target crosshair to mark a new MAP waypoint, to activate a direct map GOTO, or to GOTO a user waypoint or navaid right from the map. To mark the target crosshair as a new waypoint: 1. Press M. 2. Enter a name and/or route number, and press E. You can also use the target crosshair as an instant GOTO destination. This feature is similar to the MOB mode, and will allow you to mark and instantly set a course for a new waypoint called 'MAP'. To go to the target crosshair: 1. Press G, and press E. To save the MAP waypoint, be sure to rename it because it will be overwritten with the next MAP GOTO. REFERENCE Zooming Panning & Configuring You may custom tailor the Map Page to show waypoints by any of three options. Marking a Cursor Position To mark a new waypoint with the crosshair, simply pan to the desired position and press the MARK key. 23
