Marking Your Location as a Waypoint A waypoint is a geographic location that you specify, it can be your current location, a point on the Map Page or any item from the Find Feature database. Waypoints are saved to the Find Menu. 1. Press and release the MARK key to display the Mark Waypoint Page. Observe that your current position is assigned a map symbol, a unique identification number, a date and time of recording, location coordinates, and if available elevation and depth. 2. To save the waypoint to the Waypoints List, use the ROCKER key to select "OK" and press ENTER. To personalize the Waypoint, refer to the "Using Waypoints" section of the Owner's Manual. Finding a Destination (Waypoint) You can search for a destination using the Find Menu. A destination can be any map item such as a Waypoint, City, or Point of Interest (restaurant, museum, etc.) available from the map database. Without downloaded detailed map data from Garmin MapSource®, only waypoints, cities, interstate exits, and geocache points can be used as destinations. 1. Press the FIND key to display the Find Menu. 2. Use the ROCKER key to select the Waypoints icon and then press ENTER to display the list of waypoints. By default, the list shows only those nearest to your current location. Press the MENU key to view the options list. 3. Use the ROCKER key to scroll through the list until the desired waypoint is highlighted. Then press ENTER to display the information page for that waypoint. 4. Use the ROCKER key to select the "Go To" button at the bottom of the page. Then press ENTER to begin navigation to the waypoint. Waypoint Information Page Using the on-screen buttons allows you to delete the waypoint, view it on the map page or navigate to it. Navigating to a Waypoint When using "Go To" to navigate, a direct line (or course) is created to the waypoint. The direction you are to move is the heading (N, S, E, W). If you stray off course you can use a bearing (compass pointer) to be redirected toward your destination. The Map, Compass and Trip Computer Pages use these elements to direct your navigation efforts. 1. Press the PAGE key repeatedly until the Compass Page is displayed. This page contains a "Bearing Pointer" and a "Compass Ring." The Bearing Pointer indicates the direction to go and the Compass Ring rotates to indicate North orientation when you begin to move. Digital Data fields at the top of the page display selectable navigation information such as speed, distance to go, elapsed time, etc. 2. Press the QUIT key to move to the Map Page and observe your progress toward the waypoint. A Bearing line displays on the map and the Position Arrow moves as you move. 3. Press the QUIT key again to move to the Trip Computer Page. This page provides travel data such as a trip odometer, maximum speed, etc. 4. To stop navigation, press the MENU key with the Compass or Map Page displayed, then select "Stop Navigation" and press ENTER.

A Printed in Taiwan Menu Key Unit Operation Key Function Battery Installation The GPSMAP 60Cx operates on two "AA" batteries (not included), which are located in the back of the unit. Alkaline or NiMH batteries may be used (see the Owner's Manual to set the battery type). Stored data is not lost when the batteries are removed. 1. To remove the battery cover from the back of the unit, turn the D-Ring 1/4 turn counter-clockwise and then pull the cover away. 2. Insert the batteries, observing the proper polarity. A polarity diagram can be found molded into the battery compartment. 3. Reinstall the battery cover by inserting the bottom slot over the tab at the base of the unit and reinserting the locking pin in the back of the unit. 4. Turn the D-Ring 1/4 turn clockwise to lock the cover in place. The Micro SD Card used for storing detailed mapping data is located beneath the batteries.
