Creating Waypoints Graphically

Waypoints may also be quickly created with the Map Page cursor, which allows you to point to any

map position or map feature to create a new waypoint. When you move the cursor over a map item, you

see a highlighted description of that item. The GPSMAP 3006C/3010C uses the map item text shown on

the cartography as the default name and symbol for the new waypoint.

To create a new waypoint on an open map location:

1. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to move the cursor to the desired map position.

2. Press and quickly release the ENTER/MARK key to capture the cursor position (press and hold ENTER/

MARK to mark your present location, not the map cursor’s position).

3. The waypoint ‘Review’ page appears. To accept the waypoint with the default name and symbol, press

ENTER.

4. To change the name, symbol, position, or add a comment, depth, or water temp, highlight the appropriate

ﬁ eld and press ENTER. Make your changes and press ENTER when done. After entering and conﬁ rming

your changes, highlight ‘OK’ and press ENTER.

To create a new waypoint from a map feature:

1. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to move the cursor and highlight the desired map feature.

2. Press ENTER/MARK to capture the cursor position. A ‘Review’ page for that map feature appears. Use the

ARROW KEYPAD to highlight ‘Create Wpt’ and press ENTER.

3. The waypoint ‘Review’ page appears. To accept the waypoint with the default name and symbol (based on

the map feature), highlight ‘OK’ and press ENTER.

To change the name, symbol, position, or enter comments, depth, or water temp, highlight the appropriate

ﬁ eld and press ENTER. Make your changes and press ENTER. After entering and conﬁ rming your changes,

use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight ‘OK’ and press ENTER.
