BASIC OPERATION > CREATING AND USING WAYPOINTS BASIC OPERATION This section explains some of the more common operations performed with your eTrex, including creating and using waypoints, using the Find Menu, and how to create and use tracks and routes. Creating and Using Waypoints Waypoints are locations or landmarks you record and store in your GPS. They are locations you might want to return to later. You can add waypoints to routes and even create a Go To directly to the selected waypoint. You can create waypoints using three methods. You can press the MARK key while at a location, create a waypoint on the Map Page, or enter coordinates for a waypoint manually. Marking Your Current Location Use the MARK key to quickly capture your current location to create a new waypoint. You must have a valid position (2D or 3D) fix to mark your current location. 10 To mark your current location: 1. Press and hold the MARK key until the Mark Waypoint Page appears. A default three-digit name and symbol are assigned to the new waypoint. Waypoint symbol Waypoint name Mark Waypoint Page 2.
