Main Menu Page/

Deleting Waypoints

Main Menu Page

As you’ve seen, the primary pages provide map and navigation information. The tour’s last page is

the Main Menu page, which allows access to the GPSMAP 188/188C/238 Sounder’s waypoint, route, and
planning functions, as well as various operational and navigation setup features, and celestial and tide
data.

The Main Menu is available from any page, and is accessed through the MENU key.

To access the main menu page:

1. Press the MENU key twice.

The Main Menu page lists 19 vertical ‘tabs’ that are divided into categories by function. You can

view a particular menu by simply highlighting the desired tab, which will then show any secondary
(horizontal) submenu tabs and options for that tab.

To get a basic feel for how the Main Menu page works, let’s delete the two waypoints you created

during the simulated tour. This will ensure that you have a clean slate once you start navigating in your
home waters.

To delete the practice waypoints:

1. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘Points’ menu tab. You will see a list of stored waypoints

appear to the right of the Main Menu list.

2. Press RIGHT one time on the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘User’ tab.

3. Press DOWN on the ARROW KEYPAD and highlight waypoint ‘001’ with the shipwreck symbol.

4. You may delete the waypoint by either pressing MENU, then highlighting ‘Delete Waypoint’; or by

pressing ENTER and then highlighting ‘Delete’ from the Waypoint Edit page.

5. Press ENTER to delete the waypoint, then ENTER again to confi rm. Repeat the above steps to

delete the ‘Dock’ waypoint also.
