Thanks Camp Freddie 14th Jun 2012, 21:09 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. Gmach 14th Jun 2012, 22:16 Yeah...I think you're right. Thanks for the reply. SilsoeSid 15th Jun 2012, 09:55 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. http://garmin.com.ua/manuals/air/GPSMAP296_PilotsGuide.pdf Page 58 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 :) R.OCKAPE 15th Jun 2012, 10:56 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 |
