Garmin GPS 12MAP - Manual (Page 30)

To mark your present position:
1. Press and hold the ENTER/MARK key. The Mark
Waypoint Page will appear, with a default three-
digit name for the new waypoint in the upper-left
portion of the page.
Let’s call our present position ‘HOME’. (If
you were at home when you initialized your
GPS 12 MAP, you might want to keep this
waypoint in memory for future use!)
To rename the waypoint and change its
symbol:
1. Use the keypad to highlight the name field, and
press ENTER.
2. Enter the new waypoint name (‘HOME’) using the
rocker keypad, and press ENTER. (Remember to
use UP/DOWN to change the character and
RIGHT to move to the next character field.)
3. Highlight the waypoint symbol field and press
ENTER.
4. Select the ‘Residence’ symbol, and press ENTER.
5. Move the cursor to the ‘DONE?’ prompt, and press
ENTER.
Now we have two waypoints in memory and
on the map: the city location we saved earlier
and ‘HOME’. It’s about time we get started, so
let’s plug a speed into the simulator to animate
the displays!
To enter a simulated speed and animate
the displays:
1. Press PAGE repeatedly until the Compass Page
appears.
2. Enter a simulated speed of ‘30’ (mph or knots)
using the rocker keypad. (Press UP on the rocker
keypad once to select ‘30’. The speed readout is
on the upper left corner of the Compass Page.)
3. Press PAGE (or QUIT) repeatedly to return to the
Map Page.
