Creating a Waypoint

The term Waypoint may be new to you, but is

frequently used when discussing navigation. A

Waypoint is a position stored in the unit’s memory

used for direct navigation or to build a Route.
The unit has to be turned on and receiving at least

three satellites (or simulating navigation) to mark

a waypoint. There are three methods for creating

waypoints in the GPSMAP 76. You can press the

ENTER/MARK key while at a location, create a

waypoint on the Map page, or enter coordinates for

a waypoint manually.
Creating a waypoint using the ENTER/MARK

key—Press and hold ENTER/MARK key until

the Mark Waypoint page is displayed. At this point,

you can edit the waypoint name, symbol, date/time,

elevation, and depth. Highlight the OK button and

press ENTER to save the waypoint.
