Creating and Using Waypoints
The GARMIN GPSMAP 168 Sounder stores up to 500 alphanumeric waypoints with a user-defi ned 
icon and depth available for each waypoint. Waypoints can be created using three basic methods:
•    ENTER/MARK
 
key– used primarily for marking your present position, the ENTER/MARK key also 
provides options that allow you to select a map position or map item from the map display.
•    Graphically– allows you to defi ne a new waypoint position from the map display using the ARROW 
KEYPAD.
•    Text Entry– allows you to enter a new waypoint’s position coordinates manually (from a chart, etc.). 
ENTER/MARK Key
The GARMIN GPSMAP 168 Sounder’s ENTER/MARK key lets you quickly capture your present 
position— or cursor or map item position— in order to create a new waypoint. You must have a 
valid position (2D or 3D) fi x to mark your present position. This can be determined by looking at 
the Status Page. When you move the cursor over a map item, you will see a highlighted description 
of that item. 
To mark your present position:
1.   Press and hold the ENTER/MARK key until the ‘New Waypoint’ window appears then release it. 
You will see a default three-digit name and symbol for the new waypoint.
2.   To accept the waypoint with the default name and symbol, press ENTER/MARK to confi rm the 
highlighted ‘OK’ prompt.
3.   To enter a different name, highlight the name fi eld and press the ENTER/MARK key, then use the 
ARROW KEYPAD to enter the new letter/numbers and press ENTER/MARK when done. Note: You 
may use up to 10 alphanumeric characters for the name.
4.   To enter a different symbol, highlight the symbol fi eld to the left of the name and press the 
ENTER/MARK key, then use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the new symbol and press 
ENTER/MARK
.
Press ENTER/MARK to use the 
default name and symbol.
Highlight a fi eld and press ENTER/
MARK to enter a new symbol, name 
or depth.
