Manually Creating Waypoints on GPS 72/76 or GPSMAP 60/76 Series

Before manually creating a waypoint on the handheld, make sure that the position format and map datum on the device matches the position format and map datum of the coordinates to be entered.

If these settings are different between the device and coordinates, the waypoint will not be positioned correctly on the device. If you are unsure what format and datum the coordinates are in, you should be able to find this on the map itself, or wherever the coordinates originated from.

Changing the Position Format and/or Map Datum Setting

1. Press Menu twice to reach the main menu
2. Select Setup
3. Scroll through the tabs at the top to select the Location tab
4. Adjust Position Format and/or Map Datum
