When you have fi nished renaming the waypoint you will need to save it in the unit’s memory. 

To save the waypoint:

1.  Using the

, 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 data fi elds in the GPSMAP 176.  

Here are a few tips:

1.   If you press and hold the 

ARROW KEYPAD

 while scrolling through the alpha-numeric list it will 

move through the list quickly.  

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

3.   Don’t press the 

ENTER

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

ARROW 

KEYPAD

 to move to the next placeholder.

You should now have enough knowledge to look through the main pages, and enter data into your 

GPSMAP 176.  Now let’s learn how to navigate! 

Navigating with your GPSMAP 176

The main use of a GPS is to be able to navigate to a known position.  Let’s create another waypoint 

on the Map Page using a different method, the Map Pointer. 

Press the 

PAGE

 key until the Map Page is displayed.  Press the 

IN

 key several times until the Zoom 

Scale in the lower left corner of the Map Page reads “300 ft”.  The current GPS location is indicated by 
the triangle in the center of the map.
