Creating Waypoints

Waypoints are locations or landmarks you record and store in your

GPSMAP 396. Save your current location as a waypoint by pressing

and holding ENTER/MARK. You can also nd waypoints using the

map or Find Menu and store them in the unit.

The GPSMAP 396 stores up to 3,000 alphanumeric waypoints

with a user-dened icon, category, comment, altitude, depth, and

temperature available for each waypoint. Waypoints can be created

using three basic methods:

ENTER/MARK

—allows you to quickly mark your present

location.

Graphically

—allows you to dene a new waypoint location

from the map show using the ROCKER.

Text Entry

—allows you to enter a new waypoint’s location

coordinates manually.

Marking Your Present Location

The ENTER/MARK key lets you quickly capture your present

location to create a new waypoint. You must have a valid location

(2D or 3D) x to mark your present location. You can determine the

satellite x by looking at the GPS tab on the Main Menu.

To mark your present location:

1. Press and hold ENTER/MARK until the New Waypoint Page

appears, then release it. A default four-digit name and symbol

are assigned for the new waypoint.

New Waypoint Page

2. To accept the waypoint with the default information, use the

ROCKER to highlight OK, and press ENTER.

3. To change any information on the New Waypoint Page,

highlight the appropriate eld, and press ENTER. After

entering and conrming your changes, highlight OK, and

press ENTER.
