Manually Transitioning to the Next Waypoint

From the Route tab option menu, highlight Set Up Routes, and

press ENTER to set the route leg transition (or waypoint transition).

Select Distance to enter a radius so that when you are within the

entered distance, the GPSMAP 378/478 leads you to the next point

on your route.
When you select Manual, you can transition to the next waypoint

anytime while navigating a route. While you are navigating

the route, open the Active Route Page, and press MENU.

Highlight Next Route Waypoint, and press ENTER to have the

GPSMAP 378/478 start routing you to the next point in your route.

Creating and Using Waypoints

Waypoints are locations or landmarks you record and store in your

GPS. They are locations you might want to return to later, such as

checkpoints on a route or significant ground features. You can add

waypoints to routes and even create a Go To directly to the selected

waypoint.
The GPSMAP 378/478 stores up to 3,000 alphanumeric waypoints

with a user-defined icon, comment, elevation, depth, and

temperature available for each waypoint. You can create waypoints

using three basic methods:

ENTER/MARK—allows you to quickly mark your present

location.

Graphically—allows you to define a new waypoint location

from the map display using the ROCKER.

Text Entry—allows you to enter a new waypoint’s location

coordinates manually.
