Marking Your Location as a Waypoint

A waypoint is a geographic location that you save. It can be

your current location, a point on the Map Page, or any item

from the Find Menu.

Finding a Destination

You can search for a destination using the Find Menu. A

destination can be any map item such as a Waypoint, City, or

Point of Interest, such as a restaurant or museum, available

from the map database. Without downloaded detailed map

data from Garmin MapSource

, only items in the unit

basemap, such as waypoints, cities, interstate exits, tide

stations, and geocache points can be used as destinations.

Menu.

Navigating to a Waypoint

When using Go To to navigate, you are directed to follow a

to move is the heading (N, S, E, W). If you stray off course

you can use a bearing (compass pointer) to be redirected

toward your destination. The Map, Compass, and Trip

efforts.

Compass Page appears. This

page contains a Bearing Pointer

and a Compass Ring.

The Bearing Pointer indicates the

direction to go and the Compass

Ring rotates to indicate North

orientation when you begin to

move. Data ﬁelds at the top of the

page display selectable navigation

information, such as speed,

distance to go, and elapsed time.

2. Press PAGE or QUIT to open the Map Page and see

your progress toward the waypoint. A Bearing line

appears on the map and the Position Arrow moves as

you move.

Page. This page provides travel data, such as a trip

odometer, and maximum speed.
