GETTING STARTED Marking Waypoint Positions Each waypoint stored in memory is identified by a unique name, up to six characters long (letters and/or numbers). Each waypoint may also be assigned a custom waypoint symbol, making it easy to identify the waypoint on the Map Page. 14 GPS is really about marking and going to places called 'waypoints'. Before we can use the GPS III+ to guide us somewhere, we have to mark a position as a waypoint. Your GPS III+ can hold up to 500 waypoints. To mark your present position: 1. Press and hold the ENTER/MARK key. The Mark Waypoint Page will appear, with a default three-digit name for the new waypoint in the upper-left portion of the page. To rename the waypoint: 1. Use the keypad to highlight the name field, and press ENTER. 2. Enter the new waypoint name using the rocker keypad, and press ENTER. Each waypoint may also be assigned a custom waypoint symbol for easy waypoint recognition on the Map Page. To change the waypoint symbol: 1. Highlight the waypoint symbol field (immediately to the left of the waypoint name field) and press ENTER. 2. Select the desired symbol, and press ENTER. 3. Move the cursor to the 'DONE?' prompt, and press ENTER. The Mark Position Page will be replaced with the page displayed before you pressed ENTER/MARK to mark your position. The new waypoint is now stored in the GPS III+'s memory.
