Creating and Using Waypoints

Waypoints are locations or landmarks you record and
store in your GPS. They are locations you may want
to return to later, such as checkpoints on a route or
other features. You can save several waypoints togeth-
er to create a route.
Save your current location as a waypoint by pressing
and holding ENTER/MARK. The 76CS Plus stores
up to 1000 alphanumeric waypoints with a user-de-
fined icon, note, elevation, and depth available for
each waypoint. Waypoints can be created using three
basic methods:
• ENTER/MARK—quickly mark your present
position.
• Graphically—define a new waypoint position
from the Map page.
• Text Entry—enter a new waypoint's position
coordinates manually.
• Save—save a Find Menu item as a waypoint.

Marking Your Present Position

The ENTER/MARK key lets you quickly capture
your present position to create a new waypoint. You
must have a valid position (2D or 3D) fix to mark
your present position. You can determine the satellite
fix by looking at the Satellite page.
To mark your present position:
1. Press and hold the
ENTER/MARK key until
the Mark Waypoint page
appears. A default three-
digit name and symbol
are assigned for the new
waypoint.
2. To accept the waypoint
with the default
information, press
ENTER.
3. To change any information, highlight the
appropriate field and press ENTER. After
entering and confirming your changes,
highlight OK and press ENTER.
