Using the Waypoints Page
To open the Waypoints Page and display your list of waypoints, press MENU, highlight Waypoints, 

and press ENTER. There are two ways to sort your list of waypoints. Sort by Name is the default 

setting, and it sorts your list of waypoints in alphabetical order. Sort by Distance sorts the list 

by the distance from your GPS location (or cursor location when panning the map). When you are 

sorting by distance, if you have a large number of waypoints a progress bar displays; press the 

ENTER button at any time to stop the search. In the Waypoints menu, the option you are currently 

using is highlighted. The available option is preceded by “Switch to.”
Using the Mark Button
You can use the Mark button (the button with a push pin) on the Earthmate PN-40 to mark a 

waypoint at your current GPS location or, if panning, at the cursor position. If you are not panning 

and your are not using GPS, the current map center is used. You can also add a waypoint at a 

search result when using the Find function. 
After you add a waypoint, you can customize the waypoint name, coordinates, and comments.

When you add a waypoint and then add more waypoints using that symbol and name, they are 

numbered in order. For example, if you keep the default name of Wpt, the first waypoint is Wpt, the 

second one is Wpt 002, and so on. Your most recent name is used until you change it.
Use the Waypoint Detail Menu to view comment details, delete the waypoint, center the map on 

the waypoint, move the waypoint to the current GPS location, or average the waypoint. To view the 

Waypoint Details menu, press MENU from a Waypoint Details page.
