Marking Your Location as a Waypoint
A waypoint is a geographic location that you specify. It can
be your current location, a point on the Map Page, or any
item from the Find Feature database.
Finding an Airport
You can search for a destination in each of the three operating
modes, Aviation, Automotive, and Marine. References to
Marine and Automotive modes, buttons, pages, and fields, are
in parentheses for this section. All operating modes use data
from the Jeppesen database and unit mapping database to find
and navigate to waypoints, airports, aviation navigation aids
like VOR, NDB, intersections, cities, and recent finds. To find
Points of Interest (such as restaurants, lodging, and museums)
and Marine Navigation Aids, you must download detailed
map data from Garmin MapSource
