Garmin GPSMAP 196 - Manual (Page 64)

Creating Waypoints From the Map
You can create a waypoint using the Map Page. When you pan the
map and move the arrow over a map item, a highlighted description
of that item appears. The GPSMAP 196 uses the map item text
shown on the map as the default name and symbol for the new
waypoint.
To create a new waypoint using the Map Page:
1. Press PAGE until the Map Page appears.
2. Use the ROCKER to move the arrow to the map location, or
map feature.
3. Press and quickly release ENTER/MARK to capture the
arrow location. Pressing and holding ENTER/MARK marks
your present location, not the arrow’s location. The New Map
Waypoint Page appears.
If you have highlighted a map feature, an information page
appears after you press ENTER. Use the ROCKER to
highlight Save, and press ENTER to save the item as a
waypoint.

4. To accept the waypoint with the default information, highlight
OK, and press ENTER.
To change the any information on the New Map Waypoint
Page, highlight the appropriate field, and press ENTER. After
entering your changes, highlight OK, and press ENTER.
Creating a Waypoint by Entering Coordinates
You can manually enter location coordinates to create a waypoint.
This method can be useful for creating a waypoint at a specific
latitude/longitude location from a chart. You can manually change
the location coordinates in the New Waypoint Page to create a new
waypoint or use the Create Waypoint selection in the User Points
tab options menu.
