Zooming, Panning, and Configuring (cont.)
From the waypoint definition page, you can also
define how each individual waypoint is displayed on the
map. The GPS 48 displays waypoints as a name with a
corresponding symbol (e.g., “nearest fuel” and a gas
pump symbol), a symbol only (e.g., a fish symbol), or a
16-character comment and corresponding symbol (e.g.,
“great view” and the camp site symbol). The waypoint
name has a six character limit while the “comment” field
has a 16-character limit, and there are 16 individual
waypoint symbols available.
To select a waypoint display option:
1. Highlight the “symbol” field (to the right of the name
field), and press
E
.
2. Move the cursor to the ‘DISPLAY’ field, and press
E
.
3. Select a display option, and press
E
to select one
of the following display options: ‘NAME WITH SYM-
BOL,’ ‘SYMBOL ONLY,’ or ‘COMMENT WITH SYMBOL.’
4. Press
E
to confirm the ‘DONE?’ prompt.
5. Press
E
again (on the waypoint definition page) to
return to the Map Page.
Using the Cursor to Mark and Go to Waypoints
During panning, the crosshair represents a target
position right on the Map Page, with the range and bear-
ing to the target displayed at the top corners of the
screen. You can use the target crosshair to mark a new
MAP waypoint, to activate a direct map GOTO, or to
GOTO a user waypoint or navaid right from the map.
To mark the target crosshair as a new waypoint:
1. Press
M
.
2. Enter a name and/or route number, and press
E
.
You can also use the target crosshair as an instant
GOTO destination. This feature is similar to the MOB
mode, and will allow you to mark and instantly set a
course for a new waypoint called ‘MAP’.
To go to the target crosshair:
1. Press
G
, and press
E
.
To save the MAP waypoint, be sure to rename it
because it will be overwritten with the next MAP GOTO.

You may custom tailor the
Map Page to show way-
points by any of three
options.
