[. . . ] GlobalNav 12 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS TM Copyright © 1998 Lowrance Electronics, Inc. A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. Never use this product while operating a vehicle. CAUTION When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), this unit will show the shortest, most direct path to the waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions. [. . . ] Press the right arrow key to continue, or the left arrow key to exit without resetting the groups. 22 WAYPOINTS This GPS receiver gives you the ability to create your own database of locations, called "waypoints'. You can save your present position, cursor position, or enter a coordinate and save it as a waypoint. For example, you may wish to store the location of your parked car as a waypoint before starting on a hike. When you want to return to the car, all you have to do is recall the waypoint and the unit will show distance and bearing from your present position to the car. This unit will store up to 250 waypoints. Waypoint Menu With few exceptions, in order to save, modify, or recall a waypoint, you will use the waypoint menu, shown at right. Its name appears near the center of the screen, right above its position. Beneath this is the distance and bearing from your present position to the waypoint. The date and time the waypoint was saved is at the bottom of this screen. In short, all of the detail about the waypoint shows on this screen. Saving Your Present Position as a Waypoint (Quick Save Method) To save your present position, simply press the WPT key twice. Your current position is placed into the first available waypoint number on the list. A message appears on the display telling you the waypoint number it just used. Anytime this menu is showing, simply press the WPT key once and the unit will store your present position on the waypoint list. Every time you save a waypoint, the date and time are logged along with the position data. In this case, waypoint number one was assigned when the position was saved. 23 Saving The Cursor Position as a Waypoint When the cursor is showing on the plotter and you press the WPT key twice, the cursor's position is placed into the first available waypoint number. In the example screen shown below, the cursor is placed at the desired location. Pressing the WPT twice causes waypoint number two to be placed at the cursor's crosshairs. (Waypoint 2 was the next available waypoint number. ) A message appears on the display telling you the waypoint number it just used. Press the EXIT key to erase the cursor. Saving Your Present Position as a Waypoint (Select Number Method) The method shown previously doesn't let you choose the waypoint number. You can pick the waypoint number, (see below on waypoint selection) then save your present or cursor position. Press the right or left arrow keys until the desired waypoint number appears that you wish to save your present (or cursor) location under. When it does, highlight the "Options" label and press the right arrow key. Highlight the "Save WPT As" label (shown at the top of the menu) and press the right arrow key.
