Default GPS for the Out Of Touch

The older model iFinder I have allows waypoint entries just by scrolling a
crosshair across the display (zoom in and out as needed) to the desired
points and pressing some buttons.

So yeah, you're kinda out of touch. ;-)
(My iFinder displays only in grayscale, so I appear to be ahead of you by
being only 5 years behind the times! :-))



Having got a clue this evening, I pulled out my two greyscale GPSs and
set up a flight plan in each of them - for the first time.
One [explorist] set waypoints visually over a skeleton map, the other
[Garmin GPS40] set named waypoints with LAT/LON inputs. They both set a
route by selecting waypoints.

Who knew? (Just about everyone except me, apparently! :-)
