Garmin 378 Manuale Proprietario

Waypoints are locations or landmarks you record and store in your 

GPS. They are locations you might want to return to later, such as 

checkpoints on a route or significant ground features. You can add 

waypoints to routes and even create a Go To directly to the selected 

waypoint.
Save your current location as a waypoint by pressing and holding 

ENTER/MARK. You can also find waypoints using the map or the 

Find Menu and then store them in the unit before ever leaving home. 
The GPSMAP 378/478 stores up to 3,000 alphanumeric waypoints 

with a user-defined icon, comment, elevation, depth, and 

temperature available for each waypoint. You can create waypoints 

using three basic methods:

•  ENTER/MARK—use the ENTER/MARK key to quickly 

mark your present location. 

•  Graphically—use the map display to define a new waypoint 

location.

•  Text Entry—enter new waypoint location coordinates 

manually. 

Use the ENTER/MARK key to quickly capture your present 

location to create a new waypoint. You must have a valid position 

(2D or 3D) fix to mark your present location. You can determine the 

satellite fix by looking at the GPS tab on the Main Menu. 

1.  Press and hold the 

ENTER/MARK key until the New 

Waypoint Page appears, then release it. A default four-digit 

name and symbol are assigned for the new waypoint.

2.  To accept the waypoint with the default information, use the 

ROCKER to highlight OK, and press ENTER.

  To change any information on the New Waypoint Page, 

highlight the appropriate field and press 

ENTER. After 

entering and confirming your changes, highlight 

OK and 

press 

ENTER.
