Creating and Using Waypoints
The GARMIN GPSMAP 168 Sounder stores up to 500 alphanumeric waypoints with a user-defi ned
icon and depth available for each waypoint. Waypoints can be created using three basic methods:
• ENTER/MARK key– used primarily for marking your present position, the ENTER/MARK key also
provides options that allow you to select a map position or map item from the map display.
• Graphically– allows you to defi ne a new waypoint position from the map display using the ARROW
KEYPAD.
• Text Entry– allows you to enter a new waypoint’s position coordinates manually.
ENTER/MARK Key
The GARMIN GPSMAP 168 Sounder’s ENTER/MARK key lets you quickly capture your present
position— or cursor or map item position— in order to create a new waypoint. You must have a
valid position (2D or 3D) fi x to mark your present position. This can be determined by looking at
the Status Page. When you move the cursor over a map item, you will see a highlighted description
of that item.
To mark your present position:
1. Press and hold the ENTER/MARK key until the ‘New Waypoint’ window appears then release it.
You will see a default three-digit name and symbol for the new waypoint.
2. To accept the waypoint with the default name and symbol, press ENTER/MARK to confi rm the
highlighted ‘OK’ prompt.
3. To enter a different name, highlight the name fi eld and press the ENTER/MARK key, then use the
ARROW KEYPAD to enter the new letter/numbers and press ENTER/MARK when done. Note: You
may use up to 10 alphanumeric characters for the name.
4. To enter a different symbol, highlight the symbol fi eld to the left of the name and press the
ENTER/MARK key, then use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the new symbol and press
ENTER/MARK.
Press ENTER/MARK to use the
default name and symbol.
