Creating and Using Waypoints

The GPSMAP 392/398/492/498 stores up to 3,000 alphanumeric
waypoints with a user-defined symbol, comments, depth, and water
temp, available for each waypoint. Waypoints can be created using
two basic methods:
ENTER/MARK Key—marks your present location, and provides
options to select a map location or map item from the Map
Page. Also, you can enter a new waypoint's location coordinates
manually.
Graphically—defines a new waypoint location from the Map Page
using the ROCKER.

ENTER/MARK Key

Use the ENTER/MARK key to quickly capture your present
location to create a new waypoint. The unit must have acquired at
least three satellites to mark your present location. You can also use
this option to manually enter waypoint coordinates.
To mark your present location:
1. Press and hold ENTER/MARK until the New Waypoint
window appears. A default four-digit name and symbol are
created for the new waypoint.
2. To accept the waypoint with the default name and symbol,
highlight OK, and press ENTER/MARK.
3. To enter a different name, highlight the name field, and
press ENTER/MARK. Use the ROCKER to enter the new
alphanumeric name, and press ENTER/MARK when
finished. You can use up to 10 characters for the name.
4. To select a different symbol, highlight the symbol field to
the left of the name, and press ENTER/MARK. Use the
ROCKER to highlight the new symbol, and press
ENTER/MARK.
