Dates and Times Displayed in Waypoint Manager

When a waypoint is created on a Garmin device, the date and time of when that waypoint was created will be saved in the waypoint. When viewing the Waypoint Manager1 on a Garmin handheld, waypoints will have a time, day, or date2 listed next to them if the following criteria are met:

  • The waypoint was created either on the handheld, or on another Garmin device and then copied over to the handheld
  • The waypoint name is not more than 3-4 characters long (depending on the display size of the handheld). Longer waypoint names will prevent the date/time from being displayed.

1 For steps on accessing the Waypoint Manager, refer to your owner's manual.

2 Whether time, day, or date is displayed depends on how recently the waypoint was created.
