HOWTO: project waypoint from another location

The way to project a waypoint from the current location cannot be used to project a waypoint from someplace else, which is quite often used while geocaching. There now is a way to project a waypoint from another location, the procedure is shown below.

 

The projection works from the location of another waypoint. Most of the time the waypoint is already present, but if it is not, you need to create one on the location you want to project from.

Warning: this waypoints location will be changed during this HowTo!

You find the waypoint any way you like and you show the details.

 Pressing  will show the menu on the left, select Show Map and press .
 Now the waypoint is shown on the map. Press  again, while the pointer is still on the waypoint (the name is in a box).
 You can now MOVE the waypoint to a new location, and the heading and distance is shown on the left bottom of the screen in the black border.
 You move the pointer with the cursorpad until the heading and distance is exactly like the projection requires. Then you press  again to place the waypoint there.
 

The waypoint is now on the projected location, ready to navigate to.

Note: the original waypoint location is now changed to the new location. No new waypoint is created.
