Creating and Using Waypoints

The Garmin GPSMAP 2006/2010 stores up to 3000 alphanumeric waypoints with a user-defined icon, 

comments and depth (depth automatically displays if valid sonar data is being received. See pg. 76) avail-
able for each waypoint. Waypoints can be created using two basic methods:

•   ENTER/MARK key– used primarily for marking your present position. You may also enter a new 

waypoint’s position coordinates manually (from a chart, etc.).

•   Graphically– allows you to define a new waypoint position from the map display using the ARROW 

KEYPAD.

ENTER/MARK Key

The Garmin GPSMAP 2006/2010’s ENTER/MARK key lets you quickly capture your present posi-

tion— or cursor or map item position— in order to create a new waypoint. You must have a valid position 

(2D or 3D) fix to mark your present position. (This can be determined by looking at the GPS tab on the 

Main Menu.) When you move the cursor over a map item, you will see a highlighted description of that 
item. You may also use this option to manually enter waypoint coordinates.

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 confirm the highlighted 

‘OK’ prompt.

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

ENTER/MARK key, then use the DATA 

ENTRY keys (see page 7-8) 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 field to the left of the name and press the 

key, then use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the new symbol and press ENTER/MARK.

5.  To enter optional comments or a depth, highlight the desired field and press the 

ENTER/MARK key, then 

use the DATA ENTRY keys (see page 7-8) to enter a value and press ENTER/MARK.

6.  To manually enter a set of coordinates, highlight the coordinates and press the 

ENTER/MARK key, then 

use the DATA ENTRY keys (see page 7-8) to enter the new coordinates and press ENTER/MARK when 

done.

7.  When done, use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘OK’ prompt and press 

ENTER/MARK to save 

the waypoint into memory.
