GPSmap 76S
 

Does anyone have one of these?

Is it possible to input co-ordinates into the gps and create a way point. I only know how to mark points once I'm actually there. But I have this wicked Nautical Satellite Imagery program that can give me co-ods, so I then want to input the co-ods into the gps and let it set a course for me to get there?

I hope this makes sense...

Thanks

Mudda,

I have a Garmin GPS 76. I was going to try and do what your talking about to make sure it works but I havn't had time. I think you can go to the page that gives you all the info on a waypoint, highlight the cooridnates and enter new numbers and save them as a new waypoint. Do you not have the manual, If not , it looks like you can download them from the Garmin website.? I hope I didn't confuse the crap out of you. I'll try this out later. It's been a long time since Iv'e messed with mine.

Good Luck,
Scott

Try holding down the "goto" button and wait a few seconds. A "mark" screen will pop up and then enter the digits you want to in it. That is how my Magellan works.

You were absolutely right...

Thanks

you can also hold down the mark button and ge the same screen....the MAP76 is the best handheld GPS ever made and FYI they are 100.00 dollars off at West Marine for the next few weeks, only 199.99...I love mine

I've got the GPSMAP 76 w/ Bluecharts. It's great . . . I use it all the time.

With Bluecharts you can make routes/mark waypoints on your computer and upload them to the GPS.

It's as simple as clicking on the chart and adding a waypoint.
Adding a route is just "add route" and clicking on the map a few times until you get where you want to go.
