Creating and Using Waypoints
The GPSMAP 192C stores up to 3,000 alphanumeric waypoints
with a user-defined symbol, comments, and depth available for
each waypoint. Waypoints can be created using two basic methods.
ENTER/MARK Key—marks your present location, and provides
options to select a map position or map item from the map display.
You can also enter a new waypoint’s location coordinates manually.
Graphically—defines a new waypoint location from the map
display using the ROCKER.
ENTER/MARK Key
The GPSMAP 192C’s ENTER/MARK key quickly captures your
present location to create a new waypoint. You must have a valid
position (2D or 3D) fix to mark your present position. This can be
determined by looking at the GPS tab on the Main Menu. When
you move the pointer over a map item, a highlighted description of
that item appears. You can also use this option to manually enter
waypoint coordinates.
To mark your present position:
1. Press and hold ENTER/MARK until the New Waypoint
window appears, then release it. A default three-digit name
and symbol is created for the new waypoint.
2. To accept the waypoint with the default name and symbol,
press ENTER/MARK to confirm the highlighted OK prompt.
3. To enter a different name, highlight the name field and press
ENTER/MARK, then use the ROCKER to enter the new
letter/numbers, and press ENTER/MARK when finished.
Use up to 10 alphanumeric characters for the name.
4. To select a different symbol, highlight the symbol field to
the left of the name, and press ENTER/MARK. Use the
ROCKER to highlight the new symbol, and press ENTER/
MARK.
