Using Marks

You can use marks to save locations, and to record and access information about a location, and to navigate to a location. You can also use marks to measure the distance and bearing to a point.

To create a Mark, click the Mark button on the toolbar. A mark is created at the center of the screen, and you can drag it to adjust its position.

To record your current GPS position, first click the lock button to scroll the map so the GPS is at the center of the screen, then click the Mark button to create a mark.

To measure a bearing and distance from your current location, create a mark and drag it to the point you are interested in. The bearing and distance is displayed above the mark.

Right-clicking a mark allows you to delete the mark, edit it, or, if it has an associated URL, open information about the mark in the web browser. For example, if you import a GPX file containing points of interest, you can access detailed information on the web about each point. Editing a mark allows you to give it a meaningful name, change the icon or color, edit the position using lat-long or grid coordinates, enter a text comment, or enter the linked URL.

If you select "Go To" in the popup menu, you can use the Live navigation data to help you get to that location. The data panel gives you more detailed information such as ETA, VMG, etc. Turn the device to landscape mode to show even more data.

You can also set an anchor alarm or proximity alarm by editing a mark. See Alarms
