1.   Hold down the ENTER/MARK key until the ‘New Waypoint’ window appears then release the 

key. The window will show a default three-digit waypoint name/number (001), symbol (dot), and 
position. You can leave the name as the auto-assigned number, but for this exercise, lets change 
the name to ‘DOCK’.

4.   Press the UP or DOWN arrow of the ARROW KEYPAD until the letter ‘D’ appears, and then press 

the RIGHT arrow key to go to the next space to the right, then UP or DOWN again until ‘O’ appears. 
Repeat this until you have entered the name ‘DOCK’. If you make a mistake and select an incorrect 
character, simply press LEFT on the ARROW KEYPAD to backspace the cursor and then UP or 
DOWN to correct the entry. If you accidentally press ENTER/MARK before you are done, simply 
press ENTER/MARK again and move the highlight to where you left off.

5.    After you have entered all the letters, press ENTER/MARK to confi rm the name.

6.    To access the waypoint symbol menu, highlight the waypoint symbol fi eld which is to the left of the 

waypoint’s name and press ENTER/MARK. Note: The default symbol is a dot.

7.    You will see an alphabetical list of available waypoint symbols to choose from. Press the ARROW 

KEYPAD UP or DOWN until you highlight the ‘ANCHOR’ symbol. You will see a scroll bar on the 
right of the window indicating your current position on the entire list of symbols.

8.    Press ENTER/MARK to confi rm the ‘ANCHOR’ symbol.

9.    Highlight ‘OK’ at the bottom of the window and press ENTER/MARK again to confi rm the ‘OK’ 

prompt and save the waypoint. You may also press QUIT to not save the waypoint.

The waypoint is now stored in memory.  Note that waypoints may also be created graphically from 

the map display or by manually entering position coordinates.  Each of these techniques is described in 
the reference section of the manual and/or on your GPSMAP 168 Sounder Quick Reference Guide.
