Marking Your Location as a Waypoint
A waypoint is a geographic location that you save. It can be
your current location, a point on the Map Page, or any item
from the Find Menu.
Finding a Destination
You can search for a destination using the Find Menu. A
destination can be any map item such as a Waypoint, City, or
Point of Interest, such as a restaurant or museum, available
from the map database. Without downloaded detailed map
data from Garmin MapSource ® , only items in the unit
basemap, such as waypoints, cities, interstate exits, tide
stations, and geocache points can be used as destinations.
1. Press FIND to show the Find
Menu.
2. Use the ROCKER to select an
icon, such as Food & Drink,
and then press ENTER to
show the list of destinations.
By default, the list displays
only those nearest to your
current location. Press MENU
to view the options list.

Navigating to a Waypoint
When using Go To to navigate, you are directed to follow a
direct line (or course) 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 (compass pointer) to be redirected
toward your destination. The Map, Compass, and Trip
Computer Pages use these elements to direct your navigation
efforts.
1. Press PAGE repeatedly until the
Compass Page appears. 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. Data fields at the top of the
page display selectable navigation
information, such as speed,
distance to go, and elapsed time.
2. Press PAGE or QUIT to open the Map Page and see
your progress toward the waypoint. A Bearing line
appears on the map and the Position Arrow moves as
you move.
3. Press PAGE or QUIT again to open the Trip Computer
Page. This page provides travel data, such as a trip
odometer, and maximum speed.
4. To stop navigation, press MENU with the Compass or
Map Page shown, then select Stop Navigation and
press ENTER.
