Creating Waypoints Using the Map
You can quickly create a waypoint using the Map Page. When
you pan the map and move the arrow over a map item, you see a
highlighted description of that item. The GPSMAP 278 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
arrow location. Pressing and holding ENTER/MARK marks
your current location, not the arrow’s location.
If you have highlighted a map feature, an information page
appears after you press ENTER. Use the ROCKER to
highlight Save, and press ENTER to save the item as a
waypoint. The New Map Waypoint Page appears.

To change the any information on the New Map Waypoint
Page, highlight the appropriate eld and press ENTER. After
entering your changes, highlight OK, and press ENTER.
