To get a basic feel for how the Main Menu page works, let’s delete the two waypoints you created
during the simulated tour. This ensures that you have a clean slate once you start navigating in your home
waters.
To select the Points (Waypoint) submenu tab:
1. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘Points’ menu tab. You see a list of stored waypoints
appear to the right of the Main Menu list.
2. Press to the right one time on the ARROW KEYPAD and you see the ‘User’ submenu tab highlighted.
3. Press down on the ARROW KEYPAD until waypoint 001 with the shipwreck symbol is highlighted.
4. You may delete the waypoint by either pressing MENU, then highlighting ‘Delete Waypoint’ or press
ENTER and then highlight ‘Delete’ from the Waypoint Edit page.
5. Press
ENTER to delete the waypoint, then ENTER again to confirm. Repeat the above steps to delete
the ‘Dock’ waypoint also.
Congratulations! You’ve now gone through the basic operation of the Garmin GPSMAP 172/172C.
Your new digital chartplotter is a powerful tool with many advanced features not covered in the Getting
Started tour. For detailed instructions on using these features or performing a specific task, please refer to
the Quick Reference Guide or the appropriate reference section of this manual. If equipped with GSD 20,
refer to the “GSD 20 Sounder Module with Garmin Chartplotters” (190-00241-03) for sonar operations.
The unit is still in Simulator mode for practice, but automatically returns to it’s ‘Normal’ operation mode
when you shut it off and turn it back on.
To turn the GPSMAP 172/172C off:
1. Press and hold the POWER key for about two seconds, until the screen is blank.
2. When the screen is blank, release the POWER
key.
The next section of the manual describes the pages and functions of the GPSMAP 172/172C in detail.
If you are unable to locate a specific option or function, please refer to the Index.
