Quick Start

There will be many times that you will need to navigate menus and enter data. An

example is naming a waypoint. The ROCKER key is used for this purpose.

Let’s combine a couple of lessons. We will create a new waypoint, enter a waypoint name,

and assign a symbol to the waypoint.

The term ‘Waypoint’ may be new to you. You will ﬁ nd the term Waypoint is used fre-

quently when talking about navigation. A Waypoint is a location, stored in the unit’s memory

that can be used for navigation. Waypoints can be used for direct navigation or to build a

Route.

Creating or “Marking” a waypoint with the GPS 72 is easy. The unit has to be turned on,

and receiving at least three satellites (or simulating navigation) to mark a waypoint.

Marking a waypoint:

1. Press and hold the ENTER/MARK key.

When the ENTER/MARK key is held down, the MARK function of the key is acti-

vated. The GPS 72 will capture it’s current location, and display the Mark Waypoint Page.

By default, the unit will assign a square as the symbol, a number as the name, and the ‘OK’

Button will be highlighted. Pressing the ENTER key now would save the waypoint using the

default name and symbol, but let’s change them to something more meaningful.

Changing the symbol:

1. Using the ROCKER key, highlight the Symbol Field, then press ENTER.

2. Using the ROCKER key, highlight the ‘Scenic Area’ symbol, then press ENTER.
