Using The Cursor - Garmin GPSMAP 175 Owner's Manual

3
The cursor allows you to pan away from your present position and scroll
to other map areas around the world (even outside of your current G-chart
coverage). As you pan past the edge of the current map display, the screen will
actively scroll forward to provide continuous map coverage.
To move the cursor:
1. Press the R keypad to move the cursor in an up, down, left or right direction.
As you move the cursor, the distance and bearing from your present
position to the cursor will be displayed in the data window, along with the
cursor' s position coordinates. Keep in mind that when the cursor is stationary,
the distance and bearing from your present position will change as your boat
moves. The cursor may also be used to "snap" to on-screen waypoints and
navaids, allowing you to review a selected position directly from the map display.
To select an on-screen waypoint or navaid with the cursor:
1. Use the R keypad to move the cursor to the desired waypoint or navaid.
(If there are several waypoints grouped closely together, zoom in closer
for a better view.)
2. When a waypoint or navaid is selected, it will become highlighted on
screen, with the name and position displayed.
To eliminate the cursor and re-center your position on-screen:
1. Press the Q key.
The cursor may also be used to create new waypoints directly from the map.
To create a waypoint with the cursor:
1. Use the R keypad to move the cursor to the desired map position.
2. Press T.
3. Press T to confirm the new waypoint.
A. To create a new
waypoint at the
cursor, move the

position and press
EDIT/ENTER.

waypoint page will

waypoint name, symbol and comment before saving the waypoint.
