Creating and Using Waypoints

The GPSMAP 3006C/3010C stores up to 4,000 alphanumeric waypoints, each

with a user-dened icon, comment, depth, and water temperature.

NOTE: If you are using a Garmin GSD 20, GSD 21, or GSD 22 Sounder

Module, the Depth and Water Temp elds ll in automatically.

You can create waypoints using three basic methods:

• ENTER/MARK

—use the ENTER/MARK key to quickly mark your

current location.

• Graphically

—use the map display to dene a new waypoint location.

•

Manually—enter new waypoint coordinates manually.
