To enter waypoints, press the WAYPTS/ROUTES key. Press the
WAYPT LIST menu key and then the ADD menu key. A screen similar
to the following is displayed:
To store a waypoint permanently in the 941X's memory, first assign it a
name. The name can be from 1 to 6 characters long, and it must differ by
at least one character from any other waypoint name in the unit's mem-
ory.
Enter the desired waypoint name. If you wish, you may also enter up to
16 characters of descriptive information for the waypoint on the line be-
low the name (the description is optional).
If the name you chose is already in use in the unit's memory, a
message is displayed, indicating you cannot use that name.
You can either erase the old waypoint, if it is no longer needed,
or choose a different name for the new waypoint. The name of
the new waypoint need only be different from the existing
waypoint by one character in order to be accepted as a valid
name.
