Waypoints 32WaypointsWaypoints are the key to navigating and creating routes. An understanding of waypoints and their useis important to get the most out of your Magellan Triton.In its simplest form, a waypoint is a point on the map. The Magellan Triton uses waypoints much thesame as you use addresses to get from your home to your destination. With information on where youare and a waypoint of where you want to go, the Triton can provide the necessary information to getyou there.The Magellan Triton has three different classifications for waypoints; User-Created, Place andGeocache waypoints.User-created waypoints are waypoints you define. This can be done by saving your currentlocation, picking a point on the map or by entering waypoint coordinates.Place waypoints are waypoints that have been preloaded into the base map or one of the optionaldetail maps. You cannot add Place waypoints but you can use them when creating a route.Geocache waypoints are special waypoints that are used for geocaching. More information ongeocache waypoints can be found in the chapter on geocaching, but they are used the same asuser-created and place waypoints in creating a route.Waypoint Detail Screen OverviewWhenever a waypoint is being created, the Waypoint Detail screen isdisplayed. This screen provides a way to enter data, modify existingdata, add media or set alarm requirements for the waypoint.The Magellan Triton automatically assigns a name for the waypoint usingthe convention of WPxxxx for newly created waypoints. It is a goodpractice, and will avoid confusion later, if you enter a unique name foreach waypoint.The Waypoint Details screen consists of three pages that can beaccessed by pressing the PAGE / GO TO button.* Note that media assigned to the waypoint is stored on the SD card and not in the Triton's internalmemory.WaypointInformationUsed to enter or modify data for the waypoint.
