MARK
In addition to its use for data entry, the ENTER key serves a secondary function which allows you
to capture your present position and save it as a user-created waypoint. In order to use this feature, your
GPSMAP 295 must be receiving a sufficient number of satellites to have a valid position fix.
To mark your present position and save as a user waypoint:
1. Press and hold the ENTER key for approximately two seconds. A ‘MARK USER WAYPOINT’ page
will appear with a pre-assigned name, symbol, position and elevation for the new waypoint.
2. The GPSMAP 295 will automatically assign a three-digit number as the waypoint name, but you
may select any name you want, up to ten characters in length. To change the name, highlight the
identifier field, press ENTER and use the ROCKER KEYPAD to enter the desired waypoint name.
Press ENTER once all characters for the waypoint name have been entered.
3. To select a different waypoint symbol, which will appear on the map: Highlight the symbol field and
press ENTER. A list of available symbols will appear. Use the ROCKER KEYPAD to select the
desired symbol and press ENTER.
4. To save the new waypoint, highlight the on-screen ‘OK’ button and press ENTER. (To select the
waypoint as your destination, select the on-screen ‘GOTO’ button and press ENTER.)
