played at the screen edges (see screen below). They match and
follow the cursor position and can always be relied upon to
show you where the cursor is located. In the 952, both the cur-
sor and the cursor pointers are pink.
The 12-key alphanumeric .(<3$' is used for entering num-
bers, letters, or special characters for waypoint coordinates,
names, and similar functions.
When the unit is expecting you to enter numbers only, such as
waypoint coordinates, you can use the .(<3$' keys to enter
one digit, 0-9, with each keypress. The flashing cursor moves
automatically to the next digit position.
For entries such as latitude and longitude—where the digits
must be entered into specific character positions—the cursor
starts on the left side of the data area, and you enter characters
left to right into their correct positions.
For other numeric entries such as distances—where numbers
of different lengths can be entered—the digits are entered cal-
culator-style from the right side of the data area. If you make a
mistake, you can press the &/($5 key to clear the entire num-
ber and re-enter it, or you can press the left-arrow of the &85
625 3$' to re-enter particular digits, one at a time.
