Creating Waypoints Graphically
Waypoints may also be quickly created with the Map Page cursor, which allows you to ‘point and
shoot’ at any map position or map feature to create a new waypoint. When you move the cursor over a
map item, you see a highlighted description of that item. The GPSMAP 178/178C uses the map item text
shown on the cartography as the default name and symbol for the new waypoint.

Unit Installation
Mounting the GPSMAP 178/178C Unit
The GPSMAP 178/178C’s compact, waterproof case is suitable for mounting in exposed locations or
at the nav station. The unit comes with a gimbal bracket that can be used for surface or overhead mount-
ing. When choosing a location for the display unit, make sure you consider the following conditions:
• There should be at least a 3” (5 cm) clearance behind the case to allow connection of the antenna
(external antenna only), power/data cables.
• The mounting surface should be heavy enough to support the unit and protect it from excessive
vibration and shock.
• For GPSMAP 178/178C with a built-in internal antenna, it should be mounted in a location that
has the clearest, most unobstructed view of the sky in all directions to ensure the best reception.
Avoid mounting the unit where it is blocked by the boat’s superstructure, a radar arch, or mast.
NOTE: The temperature range for the GPSMAP 001800180018/001800180018C 0018s 0018°F to 001800180018°F
(-00180018°C to 00180018°C). Extended exposure to temperatures exceed0018ng th0018s range (0018n storage or
operat0018ng cond0018t0018ons) may cause fa0018lure of the LCD screen. Th0018s type of fa0018lure and related
consequences are NOT covered by the manufacturer’s l0018m0018ted warranty.
To swivel mount the GPSMAP 178/178C display:
Tools (not included) — Drill, Screwdriver (Phillips or Standard), three #8 (4mm) pan head machine
bolts with matching nuts and washers and a 5/32” (5mm) drill bit, OR three #8 pan head self-tapping
screws and an appropriately-sized drill bit for drilling starter holes. Always wear safety goggles, ear
protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
1. Using the swivel base as a template, mark the location of the three holes that are used to secure
the bracket to the mounting surface.
2. If securing the base with machine bolts, drill three 5/32” (5mm) holes at the locations you marked.
OR, if securing the base with self-tapping screws, drill starter holes at the locations you marked.
