Marking Your Location as a Waypoint
A waypoint is a geographic location that you specify. It can be
your current location, a point on the Map Page or any item from
the Find Feature database. Waypoints are saved to the Find Menu.
Finding a Destination (Waypoint)
You can search for a destination using the Find Menu. A destina-
tion can be any map item such as a Waypoint, City, or Point of
Interest (restaurant, museum, etc.) available from the map database.
Without downloaded detailed map data from Garmin MapSource
® ,
only waypoints, cities, interstate exits and geocache points can be
used as destinations.

2. Use the
ROCKER key to select the Waypoints icon and
then press ENTER to display the list of waypoints. By de-
fault, the list will show only those nearest to your current
location. Press the MENU key to view the options list.
3. Use the

bottom of the page. Then press ENTER to begin navigation
to the waypoint.
Navigating to a Waypoint
When using “Go To” to navigate, a direct line (or course) is cre-
ated to the waypoint. The direction you are to move is the heading
(N, S, E, W). If you stray off course, you can use a bearing (com-
pass pointer) to redirect you toward your destination. The Map,
Compass and Trip Computer Pages use these elements to direct
your navigation efforts.
1. Press the PAGE key repeatedly until the Compass Page is
displayed. 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. Digital data fields at the top of the
page display selectable navigation information such as
speed, distance to go, elapsed time, etc.
2. Press the QUIT key to view the Map Page and observe
your progress toward the waypoint. A Bearing line displays
on the map, and the Position Arrow moves as you move.
3. Press the QUIT key again to move to the Trip Computer
Page. This page displays travel data such as a trip odom-
eter, maximum speed, etc.
To stop navigation, press the MENU key with the Com-
pass or Map Page displayed; then select “Stop Naviga-
tion” and press ENTER.
Using the Map Page
The Map Page displays a detailed
map of the area around your current
location. You can view your progress
when moving or navigating to a
chosen destination. The IN and OUT
keys allow you to change the map
scale, and configurable data fields
provide navigation information.

key to display the Mark
Waypoint Page. Observe that
your current position is

location coordinates, and if
available, elevation and depth.
