Creating Waypoints
There are three methods for creating waypoints in the GPSMAP 76. You can
press the
ENTER/MARK
key while at a location, you can create a waypoint on
the Map Page, or you can enter coordinates for a waypoint manually.
Creating a waypoint using the ENTER/MARK Key —
When at a location that
you want to save, press and hold
ENTER/MARK
until the Mark Waypoint
Page is displayed. At this point you can edit the waypoint name, symbol,
elevation and depth (see page 42 for information on editing waypoints). To
save the waypoint to memory, highlight the ‘OK’ button and press
ENTER
.
Creating a waypoint on the Map Page —
Using the
ROCKER
, move the
Map Pointer to a location on the Map Page that you want to create a waypoint
and press
ENTER
. If the Map Pointer is not on a Map Feature or Road,
the New Waypoint Page will be displayed. At this point you can edit the
waypoint name, symbol, elevation and depth (see page 42 for information
on editing waypoints). To save the waypoint to memory, highlight the ‘OK’
button and press
ENTER
.
Creating a waypoint manually using existing coordinates —
Press and hold
ENTER/MARK
until the Mark Waypoint Page is displayed. The unit will
capture it’s current location. Highlight the Location Field and press
ENTER
.
Using the
ROCKER
, enter the new location. Press
ENTER
to accept the
change. At this point you can edit the waypoint name, symbol, elevation
and depth (see page 42 for information on editing waypoints). To save the
waypoint to memory, highlight the ‘OK’ button and press
ENTER
.
Creating Waypoints
When creating a waypoint on the Map Page with the
pointer on a Map Feature, pressing
ENTER
will display
an information page describing the feature. If you
wish to create a waypoint, from the information page
press
MENU
and with ‘Save As Waypoint’ selected press
ENTER
. The New Waypoint Page will be displayed where
you can edit and save the waypoint.
