1.  Hold down the ENTER/MARK key until the ‘New Waypoint’ window appears then release the key. 

The window shows a default three-digit waypoint name/number (001), symbol (dot), and position. 
You can leave the name as the auto-assigned number, but for this exercise, lets change the name to 
‘DOCK’. 

2.   Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the waypoint name field (001) and press ENTER/MARK. You 

see that just the first ‘0’ is now highlighted.

3.   Press LEFT on the ARROW KEYPAD to clear the name field.
4.  Press UP or DOWN on of the ARROW KEYPAD until the letter ‘D’ appears, and then press RIGHT 

to go to the next space to the right, then UP or DOWN again until ‘O’ appears. Repeat this until you 
have entered the name ‘DOCK’. If you make a mistake and select an incorrect character, simply press 
LEFT on the ARROW KEYPAD to backspace the cursor and then UP or DOWN to correct the entry. 
(If you accidentally press ENTER/MARK before you are done, simply press ENTER/MARK again and 
move the highlight to where you left off.)

5.   After you have entered all the letters, press ENTER/MARK to confirm the name.
6.   To access the waypoint symbol page, highlight the waypoint symbol field, which is to the left of the 

waypoint’s name and press ENTER/MARK. The default symbol is a dot.

7.   You see a grid of available waypoint symbols to choose from. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight 

the ‘ANCHOR’ symbol.

8.   Press ENTER/MARK to confirm the ‘ANCHOR’ symbol.
9.   Highlight ‘OK’ at the bottom of the window and press ENTER/MARK again to confirm the ‘OK’ 

prompt and save the waypoint. 

The waypoint is now stored in memory. Note that waypoints may also be created graphically from 

the map display or by manually entering position coordinates. Each of these techniques is described in 
the reference section of this manual.
