The Outdoor Location Feature (Using GPS)
This feature allows you to determine your current location using a location menu, as well as your current
distance and bearing in relation to another location. Radio location may be requested and reported over-the-
air.
Your radio stores up to a maximum of sixty (60) programmable location coordinates, also known as waypoints.
When the memory is full, the next waypoint automatically replaces the oldest waypoints in the radio.
The radio also stores four preprogrammed waypoints. These coordinates cannot be deleted.
The following table shows the differences between programmable waypoints and preprogrammed waypoints.
