Creating and Using Waypoints

The GPSMAP 3205 stores up to 4,000 alphanumeric waypoints with a user-

defined icon, comment, depth, and water temperature available for each waypoint.

NOTE: If you are using an optional Garmin Sonar hardware module, the

Depth and Water Temp fields fill in automatically.

You can create waypoints using three basic methods:

ENTER/MARK—use the ENTER/MARK key to quickly mark your

current location.

Graphically—use the map display to define a new waypoint location.
Manually—enter new waypoint coordinates manually.

Creating Waypoints Using the ENTER/MARK Key

Use the ENTER/MARK key to capture your current location (or pointer or map

item location) to create a new waypoint. You must have a valid position fix to

mark your current location.

To mark your current location:

1. Press and hold

ENTER/MARK until the Review Waypoint Page appears.

The GPSMAP 3205 captures its current location and creates a default

name and symbol for the new waypoint.

2. To accept the waypoint with the default name and symbol, press

ENTER.

To change any of the available waypoint information, see
