Manually Transitioning to the Next Waypoint
From the Route tab option menu, highlight Set Up Routes, and
press ENTER to set the route leg transition (or waypoint transition).
Select Distance to enter a radius so that when you are within the
entered distance, the GPSMAP 378/478 leads you to the next point
on your route.
When you select Manual, you can transition to the next waypoint
anytime while navigating a route. While you are navigating
the route, open the Active Route Page, and press MENU.
Highlight Next Route Waypoint, and press ENTER to have the
GPSMAP 378/478 start routing you to the next point in your route.
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, such as
checkpoints on a route or signicant ground features. You can add
waypoints to routes and even create a Go To directly to the selected
waypoint.
The GPSMAP 378/478 stores up to 3,000 alphanumeric waypoints
with a user-dened icon, comment, elevation, depth, and
temperature available for each waypoint. You can create waypoints
using three basic methods:
• ENTER/MARK
—allows you to quickly mark your present
location.
•
Graphically—allows you to dene a new waypoint location
from the map display using the ROCKER.
•
Text Entry—allows you to enter a new waypoint’s location
coordinates manually.
