AYPOINTS

The GPSMAP 392/398/492/498 stores up to 3,000 alphanumeric 

waypoints with a user-defined symbol, comments, depth, and water 

temp, available for each waypoint. Waypoints can be created using 

two basic methods:
ENTER/MARK Key—marks your present location, and provides 

options to select a map location or map item from the Map 

Page. Also, you can enter a new waypoint’s location coordinates 

manually.
Graphically—defines a new waypoint location from the Map Page 

using the ROCKER.

Use the ENTER/MARK key to quickly capture your present 

location to create a new waypoint. The unit must have acquired at 

least three satellites to mark your present location. You can also use 

this option to manually enter waypoint coordinates.

1.   Press and hold 

ENTER/MARK until the New Waypoint 

window appears. A default four-digit name and symbol are 

created for the new waypoint.

2.   To accept the waypoint with the default name and symbol, 

highlight 

OK, and press ENTER/MARK.

3.   To enter a different name, highlight the name field, and 

press 

ENTER/MARK. Use the ROCKER to enter the new 

alphanumeric name, and press 

ENTER/MARK when 

finished. You can use up to 10 characters for the name.

4.   To select a different symbol, highlight the symbol field to 

the left of the name, and press 

ENTER/MARK. Use the 

ROCKER to highlight the new symbol, and press  

ENTER/MARK.
