Creating Waypoints From the Map

You can create a waypoint using the Map Page. When you pan the map and move the arrow over a map item, a highlighted description of that item appears. The GPSMAP 296 uses the map item text shown on the map as the default name and symbol for the new waypoint.

2.Use the ROCKER to move the arrow to the map location, or map feature.
