Changing Default Waypoint Settings

Former Member
Former Member
I'm a new Garmin user and just purchased a GPSmaps 62s. As a whole, I've found it pretty intuitive and highly useful for the Search & Rescue work I do. However, I need to have the ability to change the default settings on waypoints, or this might have to get returned for an older GPS.

For example, my waypoints are always listed as W001, W002, etc., and the "Notes" section on those waypoints are blank. Is it possible to change the waypoints so they default to something like "G001" or "E001" and the Notes section contains the date and time?

My hunch is that there must be some menu that I haven't stumbled onto yet or located in the instruction manual (though I promise I looked there first). Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
