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.

Finding an Airport

You can search for a destination in each of the three operating 

modes, Aviation, Automotive, and Marine. References to 

Marine and Automotive modes, buttons, pages, and fields, are 

in parentheses for this section. All operating modes use data 

from the Jeppesen database and unit mapping database to find 

and navigate to waypoints, airports, aviation navigation aids 

like VOR, NDB, intersections, cities, and recent finds. To find 

Points of Interest (such as restaurants, lodging, and museums) 

and Marine Navigation Aids, you must download detailed 

map data from Garmin MapSource®.

Navigating to an Airport

When using Go To to navigate, the GPSMAP 96/96C creates 

a direct to or course to the waypoint. The HSI Page uses the 

Course Pointer, Bug Indicator, Compass Ring, and data fields 

to direct your navigation efforts. 
Course Pointer—indicates the 

direction established in creating 

the course. If you deviate from 

the course, the center section 

of the Course Pointer indicates 

deviation from the course.
Bug Indicator—guides you 

directly to your destination.
Compass Ring—rotates to 

indicate directional orientation 

when you begin to move.
Data Fields—contain selectable navigation information, 

such as speed, distance to go, or elapsed time.
