Creating Waypoints
There are three methods for creating waypoints in the GPS 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 41 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/MARK. 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 41 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 41 for information on editing waypoints). To save the
waypoint to memory, highlight the ‘OK’ button and press ENTER.
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.
