4. A city symbol is assigned to the new waypoint, but let's use a special symbol to identify it. Highlight the waypoint symbol field, using the rocker keypad, and press ENTER. Use UP/DOWN on the rocker keypad to select the 'Information' icon ('?') and press ENTER. 5. To save the new waypoint, highlight 'Done' with the rocker keypad and press ENTER. Now that we've created our new waypoint (also see pg. 47), let's see how the GPS III+ is used to navigate to it. The reference arrow can also be used to GOTO any point on the map-even without a waypoint already at that location-by simply pressing GOTO. (We won't try that here. A waypoint named 'MAP' is automatically created, so all the previous steps for creating and naming a waypoint wouldn't be needed. You might want to experiment with this procedure at the end of the Simulator Tour.) For the Simulator Tour, we'll stick with the waypoint we just created. To select the GOTO destination: 1. Press GOTO. 2. If the 'All' file tab is not selected, use the rocker keypad to highlight this tab. ('All' will display a list of all waypoints currently stored in memory.) 3. Highlight the new waypoint you just created using the rocker keypad, and press ENTER. Notice that a course line appears on the map display showing the way to our destination. Imagine you're about to depart. Maybe you're heading out from the marina or you're about to venture into the wilderness. What if you want to return to your present position when you're done for the day? You have two options available: • You can mark your present position now and save it as a waypoint, or • You can use the TracBack feature at the end of the day to retrace your steps - following the same path you travelled, but in reverse. For now, we'll mark our present position and save it as a waypoint. (You might want to experiment with the TracBack feature later. It's described on page 58.) SIMULATOR TOUR Going to the Waypoint You can select a special symbol to identify the waypoint on the Map Page. To select a GOTO destination, press GOTO and highlight the desired waypoint on the list. (You may also need to select the 'All' file tab on the GOTO Page, to see all waypoints currently in memory.) 21
