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

the course, the center section

of the Course Pointer indicates

deviation from the course.

such as speed, distance to go, or elapsed time.
