Creating and Using Waypoints
The Garmin GPSMAP 96/96C stores up to 1,000
alphanumeric waypoints with a user-dened icon,
comment, altitude, and depth available for each
waypoint. Waypoints can be created using three basic
methods:
Mark Waypoint Page
• Enter/Mark key—allows you to mark your
present position.
•
Graphically—allows you to dene a new
waypoint position from the Map Page using
the ROCKER to position the Arrow.
•
Text Entry—allows you to enter a new
waypoint’s position coordinates manually.
To mark your present position:
1. Press and hold ENTER/MARK until the Mark
Waypoint Page appears, then release it. You
see a default three-digit name and symbol for
the new waypoint.
2. To accept the waypoint with the default name
and symbol, use the ROCKER to highlight OK,
and press ENTER.
To change the any information on the Mark
Waypoint Page, highlight the appropriate
eld, and press ENTER. After entering and
conrming your changes, highlight OK, and
press ENTER.
