I have always navigated to waypoints with a Garmin Etrex handheld. I can't seem to learn how to do it on my new unit. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

You figured out how to save them?
I can walk you through it when I get home this evening and get hands on my unit, it's pretty easy. Think you hit menu when your on the map and it's somewhere in there.
Page 9 of the users manual.
Thanks Canepole. I'll read up on it tonight.
The manual on my 93sv (2016) has this on page 11. It is important to remember that using MARK will put your waypoint at the BOAT LOCATION. If you are entering a waypoint that is away from your boat (bp, drop,) then use SELECT. That records the position of your cursor. I, like others, learned this after the fact. BTW I think the most accurate placing of waypoints may be with your dv, not your sv.
Thanks TD, I also learned about hitting mark the hard way!
Once a waypoint is saved, marked, or entered, just got to home screen/ userdata/waypoints...select the waypoint you want and the navigate and gonto the selected waypoint. I did this from memory but but should be fairly close
