Waypoints may also be quickly created using the map display. This feature allows you to select any
map position with the cursor and create a new waypoint. To mark a map item, select the desired map
item with the cursor then press and release the
ENTER/MARK
key. If you select an item on the map,
like a city, the GPSMAP 162 will use the text or name shown on the cartography as the default name.
When selecting a map item, the option ‘Create Waypoint’ will appear in addition to a description of that
point and its distance and bearing from your current position.
To create a new waypoint graphically:

new waypoint at an on-screen map item, highlight the map item on the map display.

key. The ‘New Map Waypoint’ page appears. (NOTE:

location, and bring up the ‘New Waypoint’ page)
If you are using a map item to create a waypoint, an information page(s) for the map item will
appear fi rst. Use the
ARROW KEYPAD
to highlight ‘Create Waypt’ and press
ENTER/MARK
. The
‘New Waypoint’ page will now appear.

ENTER/MARK

a waypoint from an on-screen map item, the name and symbol will automatically refl ect the
selected map item’s name and symbol.
