When you select Mark in the menu list, ProMark3 displays the
Mark screen with the following default values:
- Default icon in the Icon field
- “WPTxxx” as waypoint name in the Name field. “xxx” is a
number that ProMark3 automatically increments as you
create new waypoints
- Coordinates of your current location in the Location and
Elevation fields
If you agree with all these parameters, and as the Save field is
already selected at the bottom of the screen, you just have to
press ENTER to create the new waypoint. This is the fastest
procedure to create a new waypoint.
On the other hand, if you have to change any of these param-
eters or add a comment in the Message field, then you have
first to edit the corresponding fields before selecting the Save
field and pressing ENTER
The Route button gives direct access to the Route List screen
where you can insert the newly created waypoint into a new or
existing route.
If you would like to add more description or if you would like
to export a waypoint to your GIS, use a feature library that in-
cludes a point feature called “Waypoint” and whatever level of
attribution that you need. Then, when you want to record a
waypoint, you can select the Waypoint feature type from the
feature library and record a fully describable and exportable
point feature.
GOTO
