use this function to make new waypoints that you define by
their distance and bearing from another point.

plays your present position at the center of the CHART
screen with the cursor directly over it.
3. Press the CURSOR PAD to move the cursor to the first
location, and press the SET NEW "X" menu key. A new
"X," or starting point, is displayed at that location. Dis-
tance and bearing information from the "X" point to the
cursor's position is displayed in the INFO BAR. You can

and see the distance and bearing from the X point as it
moves.
