Greg,
I kinds of hate to tell you this, but the only way you can do any thing
at all like that on the newer Garmin is trial and error (or is it try
all and err?).

This is why I have no plan to change from my 48 for wind/leeward courses.

Even with a 48 and older or a copy of Garmin's belated software package
called PCX5, the best you could do was set a waypoint based on the
distance and bearing from another waypoint.

Good luck

does anyone know....................

if it's possible to set a waypoint relative to my current position?


I want to set a waypoint x.y miles on a heading of ZZZ from my current
position. I don't care about my current lat/long nor my destination
lat/long. (at least not for this purpose)

Anyone know how to do that with a Garmin 162??????????????/



THANKS!

Greg
