The GARMIN GPS 152 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.). 

The GARMIN GPS 152’s ENTER/MARK key lets you quickly capture your present 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 GPS Main Menu tab.  

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 letters/numbers. Press ENTER/MARK when done. Note that 
you may use up to ten 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. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the new symbol and press
