Selecting Waypoints - Garmin GPSmap 78s Setup And User Manual

SELECTING WAYPOINTS

By default the Waypoint list is sorted in order
of distance from your current location as in
(2) on the previous page.
Note: Later software version 78s can also
sort waypoints by Name or Symbol. Sorting
by distance is the preferred option.
To avoid having to scroll through what might
be a long list it is possible to select waypoints
by Name. To Find a Waypoint by name
display the Waypoint list as described on the
previous page then press MENU to display the
screen as (1).
Use the rocker key to begin spelling the required name as in (2). As the name is spelled the
list will show matching waypoints. When only the desired waypoint shows or the list is
narrowed sufficiently, use the rocker to select Done, as in (2) and press ENTER.
If more than one waypoint is listed use the rocker to select the desired waypoint.

Create a Waypoint at your Current Location

You will notice that the ENTER button is also labelled MARK. This button is used to create a
Waypoint at, or MARK, the current location.

Explanation

At this point you should note & write
down the name assigned by the GPS

 ENTER – The second, brief, key-
press confirms the created Waypoint
and returns to the Map screen where
you will notice the addition of your
new Waypoint (2)
Note: You can Mark a Waypoint from any screen. If you do, the second, brief, key-press
will return you to the screen you were previously on.
