Creating Waypoints Using the Map
You can quickly create a waypoint using the Map Page. When

highlighted description of that item. The GPSMAP 378/478 uses the
map item text shown on the map as the default name and symbol for
the new waypoint.
To create a new waypoint using the Map Page:
1. Use the ROCKER to move the arrow to the map location or
map feature you want.
2. Press and quickly release ENTER/MARK to capture the
location of the arrow. Pressing and holding ENTER/MARK
marks your current location, not the arrow’s location.
If you have highlighted a map feature, an information page
opens after you press ENTER. Highlight Save, and press
ENTER to save the item as a waypoint. The New Map
Waypoint Page opens.
3. To accept the waypoint with the default information, highlight
OK, and press ENTER.
