Creating Waypoints Graphically
Waypoints may also be quickly created from the map display, which allows you to ‘point and shoot’
at any map position to create a new waypoint. To mark a map item, select the desired map item with
the cursor. The GPS 152 will use the map item text shown on the cartography as the default name.
When selecting a map item, the option ‘Create Waypoint’ will appear in addition to a description of that
point and its distance and bearing from your current position.
To create a new waypoint graphically:
1. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to move the cursor to the desired map position. If you want to create the
new waypoint at an on-screen map item, highlight the map item on the map display.
2. Press the ENTER/MARK key.
If you are not using a map item to create a waypoint, go to step 4.
3. Highlight ‘Create Waypoint’ or ‘OK’ and press the ENTER/MARK key.
4. To accept the waypoint with the default name and symbol, press ENTER/MARK. If you are creating
a waypoint from an on-screen map item, the name and symbol will automatically refl ect the
selected map item’s name and symbol.
5. To change the name, symbol or enter a depth, highlight the appropriate fi eld and press
ENTER/MARK. Make your changes and press ENTER/MARK when done.
6. After entering and confi rming your changes, move the fi eld highlight back to the ‘OK’ prompt and
press ENTER/MARK.
