If you chose a new cursor location, the 972
makes a new waypoint named -QUIK-, and
guides you directly to it. Repeating this
same procedure will create a new -QUIK-

therefore, you may want to save the -QUIK-
waypoint as a regular waypoint by renam-
ing it. See Editing waypoints, starting on
page 69.
