You Ned to make sure the waypoint format selected in your unit is the same as the waypoint you are trying to enter. Change as needed in Settings.
Did you get em on a micro disk or did you enter them manually?
I moved the couser to where it matched and hit waypoint
Well I tried to enter manually under waypoint and it matched the bad way point,I'm confused.
You must make your waypoint format match what you are trying to enter. This is done in system settings. For example: if your waypoint were: 32 deg 14 min 37 sec, 094 deg 17 min 45 sec, you would select DDMMSS as your format. If it were 32.1258, 094.4052, then you would select DD.dm. etc.Originally Posted by horntoad
If all else fails, post your waypoint on here and we can tell you which format to use. Also post the numbers of any waypoint currently on your unit.

I'll try,thanks
Not sure what I did ,but they are in now,thanks
Great, but if not entered in the correct format, they will not show up in the proper place on the map. So, are they showing up correctly?
Looks like it,I'll know better when on water
