Plot
If you want to relocate the marker, press E to enter the edit mode,
then press the Move Marker softkey. You can move the marker by:
defining a coordinate (see the flashing cursor over the coordinates
in the upper left window), moving the magnifying glass using the
cursor keys and pressing the To
softkey which moves the cursor to the boat's present position. If
you choose to use the magnifying glass method, make sure you
move this icon before you select the Move Marker softkey. After
you press the Move Marker softkey, pressing on the cursor keys
only allows you to move within the coordinate fields.

Station Keeping

There may be a time when you want to maintain your position at a
given location in open water. Some applications for this need may
be:
Ø
Staying over a dive wreck
Ø
Staying over a fishing hole
Ø
Recovering an oceanographic survey point
You can easily accomplish this task by two methods: by placing the
marker in PLOT2 on the location you want to maintain; and
referring to the bearing and range in PLOT2 to maintain the
position. If you are placing and recovering crab pots along a course
line, you can enter your course in the RTE1 screen, then place the
marker at each crab pot in turn.
You can also select WPT Pass Criterion: Distance To WPT in the
CFG1 Navigation screen and set the WPT Pass Distance: 0.00; or
set the WPT Pass Criterion to Manual.
