Creating and Using Waypoints
Waypoints are locations or landmarks you record and
store in your GPS. They are locations you may want
to return to later, such as checkpoints on a route or
other features. You can save several waypoints togeth-
er to create a route.
Save your current location as a waypoint by pressing
and holding
ENTER/MARK
. The 76CS Plus stores
up to 1000 alphanumeric waypoints with a user-de-
fined icon, note, elevation, and depth available for
each waypoint. Waypoints can be created using three
basic methods:
•
ENTER/MARK
—quickly mark your present
position.
•
Graphically
—define a new waypoint position
from the Map page.
•
Text Entry
—enter a new waypoint’s position
coordinates manually.
•
Save
—save a Find Menu item as a waypoint.
Marking Your Present Position
The
ENTER/MARK
key lets you quickly capture
your present position to create a new waypoint. You
must have a valid position (2D or 3D) fix to mark
your present position. You can determine the satellite
fix by looking at the Satellite page.
To mark your present position:
1. Press and hold the
ENTER/MARK
key until
the Mark Waypoint page
appears. A default three-
digit name and symbol
are assigned for the new
waypoint.
2. To accept the waypoint
with the default
information, press
ENTER
.
3. To change any information, highlight the
appropriate field and press
ENTER
. After
entering and confirming your changes,
highlight
OK
and press
ENTER
.
