Garmin GPS II - Manual (Page 19)

Marking a Position
GPS is really about marking and going to places called waypoints. Before we can
use our GPS II to guide us somewhere, we have to mark a position as a waypoint.
To mark a position:
1. Press MARK.
The mark position page will appear, showing the captured position and a default
3-digit waypoint name. Let’s change the default name to something a little more
meaningful, like ‘HOME’ (Fig. 13).
To name a waypoint:
1. Use the keypad to highlight the name field, and press ENTER.
2. Enter the waypoint name ‘HOME’, and press ENTER.
3. Highlight ‘SAVE?’, and press ENTER.
The mark position page will be replaced by the position page (the page dis-
played before pressing MARK). The ‘HOME’ waypoint is now stored in the GPS II’s
memory, which is maintained by an internal lithium battery.

If you try to mark a position
without a position fix, you will
be alerted with a ‘No Position’
message.
