This section explains some of the more common
operations you can perform with your GPSMAP
60Cx, including creating and using waypoints, using
the Find Menu, and how to create and use tracks and
routes.
Creating and Using Waypoints
Waypoints are locations or landmarks you record and
store in your GPS. They are locations you might want
to return to later. You can add waypoints to routes and
even create a Go To directly to the selected waypoint.
Waypoints are created using three methods. You can
press the MARK key while at a location, create a
waypoint on the Map Page, or enter coordinates for a
waypoint manually.
Marking Your Current Location
Use the MARK key to quickly capture your current
location to create a new waypoint. You must have a
valid position (2D or 3D) fix to mark your current
location.
To mark your current location:
1. Press and hold the MARK key until the Mark
Waypoint Page appears. A default three-digit
name and symbol are assigned to the new
waypoint.

2. To accept the waypoint with the default
information, highlight OK, and press ENTER.
OR
To change any information on the Mark
Waypoint Page, highlight the appropriate field,
and press ENTER to open the on-screen
keypad. After entering and confirming your
changes, highlight OK, and press ENTER.
