Recording Waypoints (or angle post)
Important note:
If you notice that the GPS is “Searching the Sky” or has located less than 3 satellites, the GPS will not triangulate your location or record your point accurately.
1.While holding the GPS over the post, push the MARK Button.
(Tip: we recommend that you hold the GPS over the post for several seconds before touching the MARK Button which will give a more accurate position.)
2.Then select OK to save. The waypoint numbers will increment automatically each time you save a new waypoint.
Or if it is a special feature that you want to remember later on toggle to the icon name ie.001. Select the ‘Enter’ button and rename.
