Zooming, Panning, and Configuring (cont.)
From the waypoint definition page, you can also
define how each individual waypoint is displayed on
the map. The GPS 126/128 displays waypoints as a
name with a corresponding symbol (e.g., “nearest fuel”
and a gas pump symbol), a symbol only (e.g., a fish
symbol), or a 16-character comment and corresponding
symbol (e.g., “great view” and the camp site symbol).
The waypoint name has a six character limit while the
‘comment’ field has a 16-character limit, and there are
16 individual waypoint symbols available.
To select a waypoint display option:
1. Highlight the symbol field (to the right of the name
field), and press
F

2. Move the cursor to the ‘display’ field, and press
F
.
3. Select one of the following display options: ‘name with
symbol,’ ‘symbol only,’ or ‘comment with symbol and
press

4. Press
F
to confirm the ‘DONE?’ prompt.
5. Press
F
again (on the waypoint definition page) to
return to the Map Page.
