Rev. D
As you pass the location of each new waypoint, press the SAVE/MOB
key to the left of the display (not the SAVE menu key in the lower right of
the screen). The boat's location will be saved as a waypoint in the unit's
memory, and the waypoint will automatically be added to the route being
saved. The waypoint will be stored with a name similar to (0001). The
parentheses ( ) indicate that the waypoint is part of a saved route, and
the four-digit number is used to uniquely identify each waypoint. Each
waypoint is automatically given a description consisting of the time and
date when the waypoint was stored.
You can access any of the 941X's navigating functions while you are sav-
ing a route automatically, with the exception of editing the route you are
presently saving. If, at any time, you are unsure as to whether you are
still saving a route or not, press the WAYPTS/ROUTES key, then the
ROUTE LIST menu key to display the ROUTES screen. If you are pres-
ently saving a route, the message "SAVING TO: " will be at the bottom of
the screen.
When you have reached the end of your new route, or if you wish to stop
automatically saving the route at any time, go to the ROUTES screen (if
you are not presently displaying it), as described above. Press the STOP
SAVE menu key. The 941X will prompt you with a question window,
asking if you want to "STOP SAVING TO ROUTE XXX?". Press ENTER
for "YES." The "SAVING TO: " message at the bottom of the screen is ex-
tinguished.
