4. Now let’s use a special symbol to identify this location. Highlight the waypoint symbolfield, using the rocker keypad, and press ENTER. Use UP/DOWN on the rocker keypadto select the ‘Information’ icon (‘?’) and press ENTER.5. To save the new waypoint, highlight ‘Done’ with the rocker keypad and press ENTER.Now that we’ve created our new waypoint, let’s see how the GPS III is usedto navigate to it. The reference arrow can also be used to GOTO any point on themap—even without a waypoint already at that location—by simply pressing GOTO.(We won’t try that here. A waypoint named ‘MAP’ is automatically created, so all theprevious steps for creating and naming a waypoint wouldn’t be needed. You mightwant to experiment with this procedure at the end of the Simulator Tour.) For theSimulator Tour, we’ll stick with the ‘SIMUL8’ waypoint we just created.To select the GOTO destination:1. Press GOTO.2. If the ‘All’ file tab is not selected, use the rocker keypad to highlight this tab. (‘All’ willdisplay a list of all waypoints currently stored in memory.)3. Highlight the ‘SIMUL8’ waypoint using the rocker keypad, and press ENTER.Notice that a course line appears on the map display showing the way to ourdestination. Imagine you’re about to depart. Maybe you’re heading out from the mari-na or you’re about to venture into the wilderness. What if you want to return to yourpresent position when you’re done for the day? You have two options available:• You can mark your present position now and save it as a waypoint, or• You can use the TracBack feature at the end of the day to retrace yoursteps – following the same path you travelled, but in reverse.For now, we’ll mark our present position and save it as a waypoint. (You mightwant to experiment with the TracBack feature later. It’s described on page 52.)You can select a specialsymbol to identify thewaypoint on the Map Page.To select a GOTO destination,press GOTO and highlight thedesired waypoint on the list.(You may also need to selectthe ‘All’ file tab on the GOTOPage, to see all waypointscurrently in memory.) 21SIMULATOR TOURGoing to the Waypoint
