Working with Waypoints

Card No. 8
What is a waypoint?
A waypoint is a position marked on a chart, radar or fishfinder screen to indicate a site (for fishing, diving
etc), or as a position to go to. You can place a waypoint at the cursor position, your boat's position or at
a specified position (using Lat/Long or Loran TD co-ordinates). Waypoints are represented in chart or
radar applications as an 'X' - this can be changed if required and by a horizontal line labelled WPT in
Fishfinder. The details of each waypoint is stored in a waypoint list which can hold up to 1000 waypoints.
Infrequently used waypoints can be archived to a CompactFlash card or transferred to another NMEA
compatible instrument. Waypoints can be renamed, edited, grouped, or erased, as necessary. To make
full use of waypoint features, ensure your display is receiving heading and position data.
