Creating and Using Waypoints

The GPSMAP 3006C/3010C stores up to 4,000 alphanumeric waypoints, each

with a user-defined icon, comment, depth, and water temperature.

NOtE: If you are using a Garmin GSD 20, GSD 21, or GSD 22 Sounder

Module, the Depth and Water temp fields fill in automatically.

You can create waypoints using three basic methods:

ENtER/MARK—use the ENtER/MARK key to quickly mark your

current location.

Graphically—use the map display to define a new waypoint location.
Manually—enter new waypoint coordinates manually.

Creating Waypoints Using the ENTER/MARK Key

Use the ENtER/MARK key to capture your current location or pointer or map

item location to create a new waypoint. You must have a valid position fix to

mark your current location.

To mark your current location:

1. Press and hold

ENTER/MARK until the Review Waypoint Page appears.

The GPSMAP 3006C/3010C captures its current location and creates a

default name and symbol for the new waypoint.

2. To accept the waypoint with the default name and symbol, press

ENTER.

To change any of the available waypoint information, see

page 16

Creating Waypoints Using the Map

You can create a waypoint by using the map pointer to point to any map

location or map feature. When you move the pointer over a map item, you see a

highlighted description of the item.

To create a new waypoint using a map location:

1. Use the

ROCKER to move the pointer to the map location you want.

2. Press and quickly release

ENTER/MARK to capture the pointer location.

Do not hold the button down; doing so marks your current location, not the

map location. The Review Waypoint Page appears.

3. To accept the waypoint with the default information, press

ENTER.

OR

To change any waypoint information, highlight the appropriate field and

press

ENTER. After entering your changes, press the OK soft key.
