Creating And Using Waypoints - Garmin GPSMAP 96 Pilot's Manual

Creating and Using Waypoints

The Garmin GPSMAP 96/96C stores up to 1,000
alphanumeric waypoints with a user-defined icon,
comment, altitude, and depth available for each
waypoint. Waypoints can be created using three basic
methods:
Mark Waypoint Page
96/96C Owner's Manual
Enter/Mark key—allows you to mark your
•
present position.
Graphically—allows you to define a new
•
waypoint position from the Map Page using
the ROCKER to position the Arrow.
• Text Entry—allows you to enter a new
waypoint's position coordinates manually.
To mark your present position:
1. Press and hold ENTER/MARK until the Mark
Waypoint Page appears, then release it. You
see a default three-digit name and symbol for
the new waypoint.
2. To accept the waypoint with the default name
and symbol, use the ROCKER to highlight OK,
and press ENTER.
To change the any information on the Mark
Waypoint Page, highlight the appropriate
field, and press ENTER. After entering and
confirming your changes, highlight OK, and
press ENTER.
