Creating Waypoints - Garmin GPSMAP 76 Owner's Manual And Reference Manual

Creating Waypoints

There are three methods for creating waypoints in the GPSMAP 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 42 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. 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 42 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 42 for information on editing waypoints). To save the
waypoint to memory, highlight the 'OK' button and press ENTER.
