Entering Lat / Long into 296

[Gmach]

Does anybody know how to enter a lat / long as a GoTo in this Garman 296 GPS ?? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks

I haven't got one, but I am guessing you can't, I think that you have to create a waypoint with the lat/long and give it a name, then put the waypoint into the route then hit direct-to.

Yeah...I think you're right. Thanks for the reply.

Hi Gmach, I've tried looking elsewhere, but the best way it seems, without using a 3rd party software, is taken from the User guide that I guess you already have and is the method Freddie suggests.

You simply have to create a waypoint and then change the information before it is saved. As long as you have 2/3D coverage, you can do this either 'at home' or in the air.

Then it's a matter of - 'Goto' - 'New waypoint name'.

Hope it helps :)

You can also use the scroll function on the map page to position the cursor to the desired coordinates then hit Direct to and enter buttons
