Entering Waypoints

[Andre1956]

I have a GPS V, I can download waypoints from the computer, but what if I want to enter coordinates in the field, how do I do that, I can't figure it out. Thanks.

Short answer. Press the MARK button to mark your current location, then edit the coords to that of your target.

 

Long answer.

Hold down the ENTER/MARK key to mark your current location.

When the window pops up, press the rocker button a couple of times until the coordinates field is highlighted.

Press ENTER.

Change the coords to that of your target, then move to the OK field and press ENTER.

If desired, move the highlight to the name area, and change the name similar to how you changed the coords.

Move the highlight to the GOTO button on the screen and press the ENTER key.

 

Great unit you've got there. A few minutes with the manual won't hurt

Hemlock, Thank you very much for all your help, I did look at the manual, but could not find anything, but I will look again. I am very familiar with GPS's as I use them everyday in my work, but I don't have to enter coordinates, just addresses. I think the GPS V is the best handheld out there at this time. Again, thanks for your help.
