14 Magellan SporTrak GPS ReceiverSHORTCUT: There is a shortcut to accessing the Mark screen thatyou may find easier to use than accessing Mark from the MainMenu. If you press the [GOTO] key and hold it down for 2-3seconds, the Mark Waypoint Screen is displayed.Entering a MessageAs many as 200 waypoints can have a message assigned to it. This comesin handy in further identifying the waypoint. If this was a waypoint for afriend’s house or business, you could add a phone number or any otherinformation that you find useful.Is there a limit to the number of waypoints I can store in theSporTrak? Yes, the SporTrak will store up to 500 user waypoints inmemory. If you should ever get that many and need to input more,you will have to delete ones that you no longer need to make room.A GOTO route is simply a route with a start point and a single destinationpoint: I am here and I want to go to there. All that is required to create aGOTO route is having the destination waypoint saved in memory. Thiswaypoint can be one that you have saved earlier (which is stored in yourUser Waypoint List) or any of the landmarks that come with the SporTrakin its built-in database.Press GOTO. The first thing that has to be done is to select thedestination waypoint. This is done by accessing the waypoint database.The first screen is used to select the category of the database that thewaypoint is in and how it will be found, alphabetically or nearest to yourposition, a city or the cursor.Selecting a Destination Waypoint from Database using “Near Position”Use the UP/DOWN arrows to highlight the category that your destinationwaypoint is in. Use the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to select how the waypointsare displayed, Alphabetical, Near Position, Near City or Near Cursor. Inthis case, you will be using “Near Position”.
