Creating and Using Waypoints
The Garmin GPSMAP 182/182C/232 stores up to 3000 alphanumeric waypoints with a user-
defi ned icon, comments and depth available for each waypoint. Waypoints can be created using two
basic methods:
• ENTER/MARK key– used primarily for marking your present position, the ENTER/MARK key also
provides options that allow you to select a map position or map item from the map display. You may
also enter a new waypoint' s position coordinates manually (from a chart, etc.).
• Graphically– allows you to defi ne a new waypoint position from the map display using the ARROW
KEYPAD.
ENTER/MARK Key
The Garmin GPSMAP 182/182C/232' s ENTER/MARK key lets you quickly capture your pres-
ent position— or cursor or map item position— in order to create a new waypoint. You must have a
valid position (2D or 3D) fi x to mark your present position. This can be determined by looking at the
GPS Tab on the Main Menu. When you move the cursor over a map item, you will see a highlighted
description of that item. You may also use this option to manually enter waypoint coordinates.
To mark your present position:
1. Press and hold the ENTER/MARK key until the 'New Waypoint' window appears then release it.
You will see a default three-digit name and symbol for the new waypoint.
2. To accept the waypoint with the default name and symbol, press ENTER/MARK to confi rm the
highlighted 'OK' prompt.
3. To enter a different name, highlight the name fi eld and press the ENTER/MARK key, then use the
ARROW KEYPAD to enter the new letter/numbers and press ENTER/MARK when done. Note: You
may use up to 10 alphanumeric characters for the name.
4. To enter a different symbol, highlight the symbol fi eld to the left of the name and press the ENTER/
MARK key, then use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the new symbol and press ENTER/MARK.
