Garmin GPS 48 - Manual (Page 27)

Zooming, Panning, and Configuring (cont.)
From the waypoint definition page, you can also
define how each individual waypoint is displayed on the
map. The GPS 48 displays waypoints as a name with a
corresponding symbol (e.g., “nearest fuel” and a gas
pump symbol), a symbol only (e.g., a fish symbol), or a
16-character comment and corresponding symbol (e.g.,
“great view” and the camp site symbol). The waypoint
name has a six character limit while the “comment” field
has a 16-character limit, and there are 16 individual
waypoint symbols available.
To select a waypoint display option:
1. Highlight the “symbol” field (to the right of the name
field), and press
E
.
2. Move the cursor to the ‘DISPLAY’ field, and press
E
.
3. Select a display option, and press
E
to select one
of the following display options: ‘NAME WITH SYM-
BOL,’ ‘SYMBOL ONLY,’ or ‘COMMENT WITH SYMBOL.’
4. Press
E
to confirm the ‘DONE?’ prompt.
5. Press
E
again (on the waypoint definition page) to
return to the Map Page.
Using the Cursor to Mark and Go to Waypoints
During panning, the crosshair represents a target
position right on the Map Page, with the range and bear-
ing to the target displayed at the top corners of the
screen. You can use the target crosshair to mark a new
MAP waypoint, to activate a direct map GOTO, or to
GOTO a user waypoint or navaid right from the map.
To mark the target crosshair as a new waypoint:
1. Press
M
.
2. Enter a name and/or route number, and press
E
.
You can also use the target crosshair as an instant
GOTO destination. This feature is similar to the MOB
mode, and will allow you to mark and instantly set a
course for a new waypoint called ‘MAP’.
To go to the target crosshair:
1. Press
G
, and press
E
.
To save the MAP waypoint, be sure to rename it
because it will be overwritten with the next MAP GOTO.

You may custom tailor the
Map Page to show way-
points by any of three
options.
