including using the Find Menu, creating and using 

waypoints, tracks, and routes.

and store in your GPS. You can add waypoints to 

routes and even create a Go To directly to the selected 

waypoint.

the ENTER/MARK key while at a location, create a 

waypoint on the Map page, or enter coordinates for a
