+Rick345 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Using a Triton 500 GPSr is it possible to project a waypoint? For example if a geocache states walk 215 feet using a bearing of 110 degrees can I project the point? I know it could be done with the old explorist units... Quote Link to comment

+Indotguy Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 One of the main reasons I switched to Lowrance a few years ago was their Projection feature. On the other hand, there are several web sites and a few waypoint management applications which can do projection calculations.

+Ezeechair Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) Can the map be panned and a waypoint taken at the cursor Crosshairs? If so just pan the map. Your cursor data should be distance from current location and Bearing from current location to cursor. Once you match the criteria requested - mark the spot as a waypoint. Should be the same result as doing a projection. Just had a quick look at the manual. Create Waypoint with the "Point on Screen" should accomplish this providing it displays distance from current location and bearing from current location. I don't know as I do not have a Triton.
