GPSMAP

 96/96C

A waypoint is a geographic location that you specify. It can 

be your current location, a point on the Map Page, or any 

item from the Find Feature database.

You can search for a destination in each of the three operating 

modes, Aviation, Automotive, and Marine. References to 

Marine and Automotive modes, buttons, pages, and fields, are 

in parentheses for this section. All operating modes use data 

from the Jeppesen database and unit mapping database to find 

and navigate to waypoints, airports, aviation navigation aids 

like VOR, NDB, intersections, cities, and recent finds. To find 

Points of Interest (such as restaurants, lodging, and museums) 

and Marine Navigation Aids, you must download detailed 

map data from Garmin MapSource
