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.

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. 

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.
