Garmin GPSCOM 170 - Manual (Page 58)

Using the Cursor to Mark and GOTO Waypoints
During panning, the crosshair represents a target
position right on the moving map, with the range and
bearing to the target displayed at the top corners of the
screen. You can also use the target crosshair to mark a
new waypoint position or as a GOTO destination right
from the map field.
To mark the target crosshair position as a new
waypoint:
1. Press
M
to capture the position.
2. Enter a new name and route number if you wish.
3. Press
E
to save the waypoint and return to the
map page.
You can also use the target crosshair as an instant
GOTO destination. Similar to the MOB mode, this func-
tion will mark and instantly set a course for a new way-
point called ‘MAP’.
To GOTO the target crosshair:
1. Press
G
to capture the position.
2. Press
E
to confirm the MAP GOTO.
If you want to save the MAP waypoint, be sure to
rename it, as it will be overwritten the next time a map
GOTO is executed.

desired position and press-
ing the GOTO key. If you
want to save the MAP way-
point, be sure to rename it.
