Creating and Using Waypoints
Waypoints are locations or landmarks you record and save to your
GPS. You can
add waypoints to routes, and even navigate directly to
the selected waypoint.
The GPSMAP 580/585 stores up to 6,000 alphanumeric waypoints
with user-defined icons, comments, 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 manually enter the location
coordinates for a new waypoint.
