BASIC OPERATION > CREATING AND USING WAYPOINTS
To view and move a waypoint on the map:
1. From the Waypoint Review/Waypoint Edit page, highlight
Show Map and press ENTER. The waypoint is highlighted
on a map screen with an information window at the top that
shows the waypoint name, location, distance, and bearing
from your current location.
2. To move the waypoint, press ENTER. A MOVE label now
appears under the map pointer. It may be necessary to use
the IN and OUT keys to zoom in or out on the map.
3. Use the ROCKER to move the waypoint to a new location. As
you move the pointer around the map display, the information
window at the top changes to show the distance, bearing,
and location of the map pointer (in relation to the waypoint’s
location) and a description of where the pointer is on the map.
If you wish to stop the move process, press QUIT.
4. With the pointer at the desired location, press ENTER. To
return to the Waypoint Edit/Waypoint Review page, press the
QUIT button.
On the Show Map display, two additional options are available by
pressing MENU:
Measure Distance
—allows you to measure the distance and bearing
between two points on the map. See page 43 for more information.
Point to on Main Map—exits the Waypoint Review/Waypoint Edit
page and returns you to the highlighted waypoint on the Map page.
Waypoint Lists
The GPSMAP 176/176C’s Main Menu page features three submenus
of the Points tab, User, Proximity, and Recent, that let you manage a
large number of waypoints quickly and efficiently. The submenu tabs
also provide a continuously updated proximity waypoint alarm that
can be used to define an alarm circle around points such as submerged
hazards, shallow waters, and restricted waters. To access the waypoint
submenus, press MENU twice and highlight the Points tab using the
ROCKER, then highlight the desired submenu tab.
