pad when necessary to move the cursor to
the next character.

repeatedly pressing Symbol.
6. Enter the waypoint’s coordinates. To
switch between displaying coordinates as
lat/lon, as loran TDs, or as distance and
bearing coordinates, press Coord type:
• For lat/lon, the N-S-E-W key lets
you manually change the
hemisphere, if necessary.
• For loran TDs, enter any valid pair of
TDs and the GRI for the pair. After
entering the GRI, check the name of
the GRI that’s automatically
displayed to ensure it’s correct.
• For distance and bearing from
your present position, leave the
From point set to -HERE-, and enter
the bearing and the distance to the
desired waypoint.

waypoint, press the From menu

the cursor pad to select the desired
waypoint and press Select waypt,
or create a new waypoint at the
cursor location by pressing Add
waypt
followed by Select waypt.
Enter the bearing and the distance
from the designated waypoint to
your new waypoint.

to return to specifying distance
and bearing from your present
position instead of from another
waypoint, press
From vessel on
the chart screen.
7. Press ENTER to permanently store the
new waypoint.
