Garmin GPSMAP 296 - Organizing Waypoints into Categories

Organizing Waypoints into Categories
You can organize your waypoints into categories, which can help
when managing and using your waypoints. For example, you can
create a “Vacation” category that stores all of the waypoints you
use for your upcoming vacation. When the vacation is over, you can
delete all the waypoints in that category by pushing a few buttons.
You can create up to 15 categories.
To
create a waypoint category:
1. From any of the waypoint pages or the Points tab, press
MENU to open the options menu.
2. Select Edit Categories, and press ENTER.
3. Use the ROCKER to highlight Add, and press ENTER.
4. Use the ROCKER to enter a name for the category.
5. Highlight Save, and press ENTER.
Now, when you create or edit a waypoint, you can select the
category from the Category list on the Waypoint Page.
To
delete a category:
1. With the Waypoint Categories window open, highlight the
category to delete. Press MENU.
2. Select Delete Category, and press ENTER.
