Garmin gpsmap 178, 178c Benutzerhandbuch

Naming a waypoint or placing any sort of data that has not been predefined requires the use of both 

the ARROW KEYPAD and the ENTER/MARK key.

1.   Once you have accessed a page with programmable data fields (e.g. ‘ Waypoint Edit’) you can use the 

ARROW KEYPAD to move the cursor (highlight) to fields on the page. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to 
move up or down and the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to move sideways. 

2.   Pressing the 

ENTER key with the field highlighted begins the process for entering data in the form of 

alphanumeric characters.

3.   Use the 

ARROW KEYPAD UP/DOWN arrows to cycle through numbers 0 to 9, plus/minus symbols, 

blank space, and the alphabet. Pressing and releasing the keypad moves you character by character 
through the list. Pressing and holding the keypad moves you rapidly through the list.

4.   Use the ARROW KEYPAD LEFT/RIGHT arrows to move to the next character on the line or back-

wards to edit characters. If there are more than two lines of data, keep pressing to the RIGHT to drop 
down to the next line.

5.  When data entry is completed press ENTER to accept data, then move to the next programmable 

field. Not all data fields are programmable, such as the date and time. When moving about a page 
with these fields, the cursor skips over them.
