Creating And Using Waypoints - Garmin 500 series Owner's Manual

Creating and Using Waypoints

You can store up to 1,500 alphanumeric waypoints with a user-
defined name, symbol, depth, and water temp for each waypoint.
When you create a waypoint, you can designate it as an MOB (Man
OverBoard). This marks the point and sets a course back to the
marked location. When an MOB is active, an MOB waypoint with
an international MOB symbol is created and the unit is on an active
navigation to that point.
To mark your location:
1. From any screen, press MARK.
2. Select Back to return to the chart, or select MOB to
designate the waypoint as an MOB point.
NOTE: Pressing the MARK
your present location.
