Before we canuse the GPS III to guide us somewhere, we have to mark a position as a waypoint.Your GPS III can hold up to 500 waypoints.To mark your present position:1. Press and hold the ENTER/MARK key. The Mark Waypoint Page will appear, with adefault three-digit name for the new waypoint in the upper-left portion of the page.To rename the waypoint:1. Use the keypad to highlight the name field, and press ENTER.2. Enter the new waypoint name using the rocker keypad, and press ENTER.Each waypoint may also be assigned a custom waypoint symbol for easy way-point recognition on the Map Page.To change the waypoint symbol:1. Highlight the waypoint symbol field (immediately to the right of the waypoint namefield) and press ENTER.2. Select the desired symbol, and press ENTER.3. Move the cursor to the ‘DONE?’ prompt, and press ENTER.The Mark Position Page will be replaced with the page displayed before youpressed ENTER/MARK to mark your position. The new waypoint is now stored inthe GPS III’s memory.Each waypoint stored inmemory is identified by aunique name, up to six char-acters long (letters and/ornumbers).Each waypoint may also beassigned a custom waypointsymbol, making it easy toidentify the waypoint on theMap Page.14GETTING STARTEDMarking Waypoint Positions
