Creating and Using Waypoints
The GPSMAP 3205 stores up to 4,000 alphanumeric waypoints with a user-
dened icon, comment, depth, and water temperature available for each waypoint.
NOTE: If you are using an optional Garmin Sonar hardware module, the
Depth and Water Temp elds ll 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 dene 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 x to
mark your current location.
To mark your current location:
1. Press and hold ENTER/MARK until the Review Waypoint Page appears.
The GPSMAP 3205 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 15.
