Creating Waypoints From the Map
You can create a waypoint using the Map Page. When you pan the
map and move the arrow over a map item, a highlighted description
of that item appears. The GPSMAP 196 uses the map item text
shown on the map as the default name and symbol for the new
waypoint.
To create a new waypoint using the Map Page:
1. Press PAGE until the Map Page appears.
2. Use the ROCKER to move the arrow to the map location, or
map feature.
3. Press and quickly release ENTER/MARK to capture the
arrow location. Pressing and holding ENTER/MARK marks
your present location, not the arrow’s location. The New Map
Waypoint Page appears.
If you have highlighted a map feature, an information page
appears after you press ENTER . Use the ROCKER to
highlight Save, and press ENTER to save the item as a
waypoint.
