Creating Waypoints Using the Map
You can quickly create a waypoint using the Map Page. When
you pan the map and move the arrow over a map item, you see a
highlighted description of that item. The GPSMAP 378/478 uses the
map item text shown on the map as the default name and symbol for
the new waypoint.

1. Use the
ROCKER
to move the arrow to the map location or
map feature you want.
2. Press and quickly release
ENTER/MARK
to capture the
location of the arrow. Pressing and holding
ENTER/MARK
marks your current location, not the arrow’s location.
If you have highlighted a map feature, an information page
opens after you press
ENTER
. Highlight
Save
,
and press
ENTER
to save the item as a waypoint. The New Map
Waypoint Page opens.
