Creating Waypoints - Garmin GPS 10 Deluxe Application Manual

Creating Waypoints

A waypoint can be created three different ways as explained
below. All waypoints are accessed from the Find Feature
Waypoints List. A Waypoint can be renamed, assigned a
graphic symbol, a more accurate altitude, moved to a new
location, given new lat/lon coordinates, and provided with
special comments. When no longer required, it can be
transferred to MapSource for storage or deleted from the
Waypoints List.
To mark your current location as a waypoint:
1. From the Map Page, use the stylus to tap the
Waypoint icon on the tool bar at the bottom of the
page.
Be certain the Map Pointer (white arrow) is not
displayed, or the loca-tion on the map, marked by
the arrow will be saved as a waypoint.
2. The "Mark Waypoint Page is displayed with the
waypoint automatic-ally named as "Waypoint".
(Each subsequently marked waypoint will be named
"Waypoint 1, 2, 3", etc.)
3. You can change the name to one more descriptive
of the location.
4. Tap OK to save the new waypoint to the
Waypoints list.
To mark a point on the map as a waypoint:
1. With the Map Page displayed, use the stylus to tap
the desired loca-tion on the map which causes the
Map Pointer (white arrow) to display. If the point
on the map has descriptive information in the map
database, it displays for six seconds.
2. Once the Map Pointer is at the desired location, tap
the Waypoint icon on the tool bar to display the
Waypoint Details Page.
3. Observe that the waypoint name reflects the data
and that the "Comment" field is blank.
4. You may want to rename the waypoint or place a
reference in the "Comment" field.
5. Tap OK to save the new waypoint to the Waypoints
List.
To save a Find Feature item as a waypoint:
With the item highlighted, hold the stylus in place
until the drop down menu displays. Then tap the
"Save As Waypoint" option.
