The waypoint appears on the screen at the cursor position. The number

Note: If you Clear the route before it is saved, the waypoint is removed.
4. Move the cursor to the next waypoint position; a dotted line connects the
cursor to the last placed waypoint.
5. Press ENTER again. The next waypoint is placed and the dotted line
changes to a solid line.
Note: If you placed a waypoint incorrectly, you can delete it by pressing
CLEAR . Successive waypoints can be deleted in this way.
