Waypoint Submenus
The GPSMAP 168 Sounder’s Main Menu Page features three waypoint submenu tabs, ‘By Name’,
‘Nearest’, and ‘Proximity’, that let you manage a large number of waypoints quickly and effi ciently. The
submenu tabs also provide a continuously updated nearest waypoints list and a proximity waypoint
alarm function that can be used to defi ne an alarm circle around submerged hazards, shallow waters,
etc.
To access the Main Menu Page/Waypoint (Waypt) submenus:
1. Press MENU twice, then highlight the ‘Waypt’ tab using the ARROW KEYPAD, then highlight
the desired submenu tab.
By Name Waypoint List
The fi rst waypoint submenu list available from the ‘Waypt’ tab is the ‘By Name’ list, which displays
a master list of all waypoints currently stored in memory. From the ‘By Name’ list, you may review,
edit, rename or delete individual waypoints, or delete all user waypoints. The total number of stored
and available waypoints is displayed at the bottom of the ‘By Name’ tab, with the stored waypoints
arranged in numerical/alphabetical order.
The following options are available from the ‘By Name’ submenu of the ‘Waypt’ tab:
New Waypoint— creates a new waypoint.
Delete Waypoint— deletes selected waypoint from list AND any route in which it was used.
Delete by Symbol— deletes all waypoints that use the same symbol.
Delete All— deletes all waypoints from the unit.
Once a waypoint is deleted from the list, it cannot be recovered from the unit. It is
advisable to backup important waypoints to a computer using GARMIN’s MapSource
software.
