+welch Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 I don't have that unit so I can't tell you exactly, but YOU could go to the Garmin site and download the manual. Quote Link to comment
+Smitherington Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 I have a Garmin EMap. To create a waypoint I hold the ENTER button for 2 seconds. I then use the UP/DOWN arrows to go to the name. I press enter and use the UP/DOWN arrows to scroll through the alphapet to create a name. When finished with the name I press ENTER again and use the DOWN arrow to go to the coordinates. I press ENTER and use the UP/DOWN arrows to enter the correct Latitude and Longitude. When finished I press ENTER again. If I want to go to that waypoint I use the UP/DOWN arrows to move to GO TO and press enter. THen follow the arrow. I am sure the other GPSr units use a similar method. Happy caching. Quote Link to comment
