Garmin gps 76 Manual De Usuario

There will be many times that you may need to enter data.  An example is 

naming a waypoint. The ROCKER Key is used to navigate through menu items 
and to enter data.

Let’s combine a couple of lessons.  We will create a new waypoint, enter a 

waypoint name, and assign a symbol to the waypoint.  

The term ‘Waypoint’ may be new to you.  You will fi nd the term Waypoint 

is used frequently when talking about navigation.  A Waypoint is a position 
stored in the unit’s memory. Waypoints are used for direct navigation or to build 
a Route.

Creating or ‘Marking’ a waypoint with the GPS 76 is easy.  The unit has to 

be turned on and receiving at least three satellites (or simulating navigation) to 
mark a waypoint.

1.  Press and hold the ENTER Key.

When you held the ENTER Key, the GPS 76 captured it’s current position 

and displayed the Mark Waypoint Page.  You will notice that the unit assigned a 
square as the default symbol and a number as the default name. The ‘OK’ Button 
is highlighted, pressing the ENTER Key will store the new waypoint using the 
default settings for the symbol and name, but let’s change them to something 
more meaningful. 

1.  Using the ROCKER Key, highlight the Symbol Field, then press ENTER.

2.  Using the ROCKER Key, highlight the ‘Scenic Area’ symbol, then press ENTER.
