Garmin GPS 120XL - Manual (Page 26)

Waypoint Definition Page
The last of the three waypoint management pages is
the waypoint definition page. This page lets you create
new waypoints manually, or review and edit existing
waypoints.
To create a new waypoint manually, you’ll need to
know its position coordinates or its distance and bear-
ing from an existing waypoint.
To create a waypoint by entering coordinates:
1. If a waypoint is currently displayed in the name field,
highlight ‘NEW?’ and press F . Then press the
L

2. Use

use
L

3. Press
F
to confirm the waypoint name. The posi-
tion field will now become highlighted, with the receiv-
er’s last known position shown, if one exists.
4. Press
F
to begin entry of the position.
5. Use the
U
and
D
keys to enter your position, and
use the
L
and
R
keys to move to each character
field.
6. Press F to confirm and save your coordinates. The
default waypoint comment (UTC date and time of cre-
ation) will appear, and the highlight will move to
‘DONE?’.

key to return to the Menu Page.
