point, or any unmarked point on the chart.
Press Add new WP. (If an existing way-
point is selected, the menu key will read
Add waypt.)
Newly created waypoints are named
(0001), (0002), etc. The parentheses

a description showing the time and date
you stored the waypoint.

cursor to each desired waypoint location
and pressing either Add waypt or Add

route screen connecting the waypoints,
with small arrows indicating the direction
of the route.
