NavData® card, the GPS 500 allows you to store up to 1,000 user-defined waypoints. The User
Waypoint page displays the waypoint name (up to five characters long), identifier and radial from two
reference waypoints, distance from one reference waypoint, along with the user waypoint’s latitude/
longitude position.

The following descriptions and abbreviations appear on the User Waypoint page:

upon unit configuration)

• DIS—

(depending upon unit configuration)

• Position—

UTM/UPS

User waypoints may only be selected by name (identifier), as described on page 77.
