Projecting a Waypoint
You can also create a new waypoint by projecting the distance and
bearing from a specific location to a new location.
To create a
new waypoint by projecting its location:

previous sections). The new waypoint is created with the next
available waypoint number and the receiver’s last known
location as the default location.
2. Press MENU twice to open the Main Menu.
3. Highlight the Points tab.
4. Press MENU to open the New Waypoint Page options menu.
5. Highlight Project Location, and press ENTER.
Project Location Menu

6. To change the location from which you are projecting the new
waypoint, highlight the From field, and press ENTER. The
Find Menu opens.
Select the point from which you will project your new
waypoint just as you would select a waypoint or point of
interest. For more information see the “Finding an Item”
section on page 16.
7. To adjust the distance that the new waypoint is projected
beyond the original waypoint, highlight the Distance field,
and press ENTER. Enter the projection distance, and press
ENTER.
To adjust the bearing that the new waypoint is projected from
the original waypoint, highlight the Bearing field, and press
ENTER. Enter the bearing, and press ENTER.
8. After you adjust all elements of the projected location,
highlight Save, and press ENTER.
9. Make any other changes to the new waypoint data (such as
the name or symbol); highlight OK, and press ENTER.
