[. . . ] GLOBALMAP 3000 TM INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS WWW. LOWRANCE. COM Copyright © 2000, 2001 Lowrance Electronics, Inc. A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. CAUTION When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), this unit will show the shortest, most direct path to the waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions. [. . . ] Delete All Trails To remove all of the trails from memory, select "Delete All" from the "Trails" menu. The unit will delete all trails and return to the "Trails" menu. 23 WAYPOINTS This GPS receiver gives you the ability to create your own database of locations, called "waypoints". You can save your present position, cursor position, or enter a coordinate and save it as a waypoint. For example, you may wish to store the location of your boat dock as a waypoint before starting on a trip. When you want to return, all you have to do is recall the waypoint and the unit will show distance and bearing from your present position to the dock. Saving Your Present Position as a Waypoint (Quick Save Method) To save your present position, simply press the WPT key twice. Your current position is placed into the first available waypoint number on the list. A message appears on the display telling you the waypoint number it just used. Anytime this menu is showing, simply press the WPT key once and the unit will store your present position on the waypoint list. Saving the Cursor Position as a Waypoint When the cursor is showing on the map and you press the WPT key twice, the cursor's position is placed into the first available waypoint number. In the example screen shown at right, the cursor was placed at the desired location. Pressing the WPT twice causes waypoint number 2 to be placed at the cursor's crosshairs. (Waypoint 2 was the next available waypoint number. ) A message appears on the display telling you the waypoint number it just used. Press the EXIT key to erase the cursor. 24 Saving a New Position To save a position other than the cursor's or the present position as a waypoint, first press the WPT key. A waypoint can be created from your current position, the cursor position (if activated), a position that you enter, a position averaged over time, and a projected position, using only distance and bearing from your present position. Current Position and Entered Position - Edit Waypoint Selecting "Current Position" or "Entered Position" brings up the "Edit Waypoint" menu as shown at right. Choosing this option lets you change the defaults used when the quick-save method is used. You can name the waypoint, choose a symbol to mark the waypoint on the map, and use your current position shown in the latitude/longitude boxes or change it to a different one. Use the cursor keys to highlight the section that you wish to change and press the ENT key to select it. This saves the waypoint and opens the "Waypoint Information" screen as shown at right. This shows the waypoint that you just saved If all you wanted was to save the waypoint, press the EXIT key to erase the menu. See below for more information on the Waypoint Information menu. 25 Average Position This feature averages your position.
