Troubleshooting

My device is not creating waypoints in the

correct location

You can manually enter a waypoint location to transfer and

share data from one device to the next. If you have

manually entered a waypoint using coordinates, and the

location of the point does not appear where the point

should be, the map datum and position format of the

device may not match the map datum and position format

originally used to mark the waypoint.
Position format is the way in which the 

A02759

 receiver's

 

position appears on the screen. Commonly displayed as

 

latitude/longitude in degrees and minutes, with options for

 

degrees, minutes and second, degrees only, or one of

 

several grid formats.
