No you can do it on the unit itslef though it is a bit tedious. I have (had I should say, the old man has it now) an Etrex Summit and am not sure of the model you have ? I presume they are all the same in "how to do it". Basically mark a Waypoint and then "edit" the co-ordinates. See the section in your manual about marking a waypoint and further on in the same section should be instructions to edit the co-ords.

Download the manual from the Garmin web site if you have misplaced your's.

Best 'o luck !
