Quick Start

 Changing the name:

1. Using the 

ROCKER

 key, highlight the Name Field then press the 

ENTER 

key.

2.  Press the 

ROCKER 

key to the left, this will clear the name fi eld.

3.  Press the

 key up, scroll through the alpha-numeric list until  ‘C’ is selected.

4.  Press the 

ROCKER

 key right to move to the next placeholder.

5.  Press the 

ROCKER

 key down, scroll through the alpha-numeric list until ‘R’ is selected.

You should be starting to get the feel of it.  Continue entering letters until you have 

spelled the word CREEK.  

6.  With the letter ‘K’ highlighted, press the 

ENTER

 key to accept the name.

You can enter any name that you like as long as it does not exceed ten characters, and 

does not duplicate a previously saved waypoint.  When you have fi nished renaming the 
waypoint you will need to store it in the units’ memory. 

To store the waypoint:

1.  Using the 

ROCKER 

key, highlight the ‘OK’ Button and press the 

ENTER

 key.

These are the same steps that you will use to enter names, change numbers and select 

options in all of the GPS 72 fi elds.  

Here are a couple of tips:

•   If you press and hold the 

ROCKER

 key while scrolling through the alpha-numeric list, it 

will move quickly.  

•   You can scroll through the alpha-numeric list in either direction.

•   Don’t press the 

ENTER

 key until you have fi nished entering the data. Remember, use the 

ROCKER 

key to move to the next placeholder.
