ENTER/MARK Key

The GPSMAP 182/182C's ENTER/MARK key quickly captures
your present location to create a new waypoint. You must have
a valid position (2D or 3D) fix to mark your present position.
This can be determined by looking at the GPS tab on the Main
Menu. When you move the pointer over a map item, a highlighted
description of that item appears. You can also use this option to
manually enter waypoint coordinates.

To mark your present position:

1. Press and hold ENTER/MARK until the New Waypoint
window appears, and release it. A default three-digit name
and symbol is created for the new waypoint.
2. To accept the waypoint with the default name and symbol,
press ENTER to confirm the highlighted OK prompt.
3. To enter a different name, highlight the name field and press
ENTER, then use the ROCKER to enter the new letter/
numbers, and press ENTER when finished. Use up to 10
alphanumeric characters for the name.
4. To select a different symbol, highlight the symbol field to the
left of the name, and press ENTER. Use the ROCKER to
highlight the new symbol, and press ENTER.
