Map Guide ProTM is a trademark of Eagle Electronics Eagle® is a registered trademark of Eagle Electronics WARNING!USE THIS UNIT ONLY AS AN AID TO NAVIGATION. A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. [. . . ] This method requires the unit to remain untouched at the location that you want to save, preferably for at least one hour. Longer times will result in a better position. The unit averages all of the positions reported by its GPS receiver, resulting in typically higher position accuracy. To use this feature, first press the WPT key and select a waypoint number, then select "CREATE WPT". The screen at the bottom of the previous page appears. Your present position shows at the top of the screen. A box with a plotter graphically shows the movement of your average position. The number of positions or points taken appears beneath the plotter. The position is updated once per second. Now place the unit where it has an unobstructed view of the sky. At the end of the position gathering time, press the ENT key to save the averaged position. 31 Project a Waypoint You can save a waypoint even if you don't know it's position or location on the map. This unit lets you project the location of a waypoint from a known waypoint using only bearing and distance from the known waypoint. This is useful if you don't know the latitude/longitude of a location, but you do know the distance and bearing from a saved waypoint or your own position. (Note: To project a waypoint from your present position, you must first save your present position as a waypoint. ) To use this feature, press the WPT key, then select a waypoint number that you want to save the projected waypoint under. Finally, select "PROJECT POS". The unit needs a location (reference waypoint) to project the new waypoint from. The default reference is waypoint number one. Highlight the "REFERENCE WPT" label on the Project WPT menu and press the right arrow key. Select a waypoint using either the waypoint number, or waypoint list. When you've chosen the waypoint, highlight the "SET REFERENCE" label and press the right arrow key. The unit returns to the Project WPT screen shown above. The starting waypoint you chose shows in the middle of this screen.
