Garmin GPS 120XL - Manual (Page 15)

The mark position page will appear, showing the
captured position and a default 3-digit waypoint name.
Let’s change the default name to something a little more
meaningful, like ‘DOCK’.
1. Press the
U
key twice to move the field highlight
from the ‘save’ field to the name field.
2. Press F and
L
to clear the default waypoint
name.
3. Press and hold the
U
key to scroll through the
alphabet until the letter ‘D’ appears.
4. Press the
R
key once to move the character highlight
to the next character space.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the word ‘DOCK’ is dis-
played.
6. Press F to complete entry of the name.
7. Press the
D
key once to return the field highlight to
the ‘save’ field.
8. Press the
F
key to confirm that you want to save
the position as a waypoint named ‘DOCK’.
The mark position page will now be replaced by
the Position Page (or whatever page was displayed
prior to pressing the
M key). The ‘DOCK’ waypoint
is now stored in the GPS 120XL’s memory, and will
remain there until you manually remove it or clear the
receiver’s memory. For more on waypoint management,
see pages 19-25.
Using the Position and Map Pages
Now that you’ve marked a position, let’s see how
the Position and Map Pages can be used to monitor
your progress as you head out in to the open water.
As always, ensure your primary focus is on
boating traffic and monitor the GPS120XL
briefly when operating your boat.

The arrow keypad is used
for all data entry. Use the

select letters, numbers, or
menu options, and use the
LEFT and RIGHT keys to
move the cursor forward or
backward along the line.
