This section explains some of the more common
operations you can perform with your GPSMAP 76Cx
including using the Find Menu, creating and using
waypoints, tracks, and routes.
Creating and Using Waypoints
Waypoints are locations or landmarks you record

You can create waypoints using three methods. Press
the ENTER/MARK key while at a location, create a
waypoint on the Map page, or enter coordinates for a
waypoint manually.

current location.
