Now that you are familiar with the GPS page features and what functions  they convey, it’s time to
take a short trip to test your navigation skills. You’ll need a relatively open area to perform this
exercise. Let’s begin by marking your current location; this can be considered a waypoint, so it can
be used to guide you to your starting point on your return trip.

To begin with, let’s mark your current location as a waypoint.

NOTE: The GMR-GPS unit must be in the NAVIGATION mode (satellites acquired) before you

begin your trial run.

MARK YOUR WAYPOINT
Mark your current position as follows:

1.

Make sure all desired parameters for your trip are arranged using the
SETUP menu.

2.

Press the Mark (M) button; the MARK (WAYPOINT) page
appears.  Since the GMR-GPS unit has now  fixed your location, the
display will show a default mark of 001, followed  by  the coordinates
specifying  your initial position.

3.

Highlight  the SAVE field and press Enter.

To make your  trip more enjoyable, let’s give your initial position a
more descriptive symbol and name before you commence your trip.

4.

To Change the Location Symbol:
a.

With the MARK (WAYPOINT) page displayed, use the Up/Down
wheel key to highlight (box) the position symbol; then press
the Enter button.

b.

The Symbols  screen appears with the current  symbol
highlighted.

c.

Scroll through the symbols using the Up/Down wheel  key
and select one that  more closely describes  your
location. Then press Enter. The MARK display reappears with
the new  symbol adjacent to the location name.

d.

Highlight the SAVE field and press Enter; the MARK
screen reappears.
