Creating and Using Waypoints
Waypoints are locations or landmarks you record and store in your
GPS. They are locations you might want to return to later, such as
checkpoints on a route or significant ground features. You can
add
waypoints to routes and even create a Go To directly to the selected
waypoint.
The GPSMAP 276C stores up to 3,000 alphanumeric waypoints with
a user-defined icon, comment, elevation, depth, and temperature
available for each waypoint. Waypoints can be created using three
basic methods:
•
ENTER/MARK
—allows you to quickly mark your present
location.
•
Graphically
—allows you to define a new waypoint location
from the map using the
ROCKER
.
•
Text Entry
—allows you to enter a new waypoint’s location
coordinates manually.
