Working with Waypoints
Card No. 11
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 or your boat's position or at a
specified position. Waypoints are represented in chart or radar
applications as an 'X' (default) and by a vertical line labeled WPT in
Fishfinder. Active waypoints are displayed on 3D Chart and CDI
windows. The details of each waypoint are stored in a waypoint list.
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. We recommend that you regularly back-up
your waypoints by archiving them to a CompactFlash card. Waypoints
can also be transferred to another NMEA compatible instrument.
