Before we move on to the sections describing how to enter waypoints and
routes into the 941X's memory, let's take a break and review the methods
for entering data into the unit.
Some screens, such as coordinate entry screens, allow entry of numbers
only. Others, such as waypoint names, allow entry of letters, digits and
punctuation characters.
A typical entry screen will have several items of data displayed. First,
choose the item you wish to change by pressing the up or down cursor
arrow key to move the flashing cursor to that item.
The flashing cursor indicates which character position will be written
into. Use the left and right cursor arrows to move the flashing cursor to
the next character you want to enter.
Use the up and down arrows to move to the next line you want to enter.
When the entire screen is correct, press the ENTER key. The 941X will
accept the full screen of data and store it in memory.
To enter numbers, simply press the digits of the keypad. The flashing
cursor automatically moves to the next character.
You can use the arrow keys to "back up" and correct any mis-
takes you might have made.
Many items, such as waypoint names, accept letters as well as numbers.
Each key of the keypad is labeled with up to four characters. Find the key
with the desired character, and press that key one or more times to dis-
play the character. When the character has been selected, use the right
arrow cursor key to move the cursor to the next character position. Press
ENTER when all the characters are correct.
Here are some of the things you can do with waypoints using your 941X:
1. Navigate to a point in one step (a "quick start" waypoint)
2. Enter waypoints into the 941X's memory for later use
3. Navigate to these waypoints
