Creating a Waypoint from a Map Feature

(BlueChart Data shown)

Creating Waypoints Manually

You can manually enter position coordinates to create a waypoint using the Points

tab on the Main Menu. This method is useful for creating a waypoint at a specic

latitude/longitude position from a chart or other source.

to the same position format and map datum as the paper chart or coordinates

source. Entering coordinates into the GPSMAP 3006C/3010C while it is set

to a datum different from the datum in which the coordinates were created can

result in an incorrect waypoint location.
