Garmin GPSMAP 296 Manual De Usuario

You can manually enter location coordinates to create a waypoint. 

This method can be useful for creating a waypoint at a specific 

latitude/longitude location from a chart. You can manually change

favorite method discussed in previous sections). The new 

waypoint is created with the next available waypoint number 

and the receiver’s last known location as the default location.

ROCKER to highlight 

the 

Location field, and press ENTER. Use ROCKER to enter 

the location coordinates, and press 

ENTER when finished.

3.  To change any of the other information, highlight the 

appropriate field, and press
