position, normally entered on a chart as a reference, or as a place to go to.
However, the L755 and L760 units let you place waypoints in Fishfinder mode
as well as Chartplotter mode.
Waypoints are described fully in Chapter 5. This section provides details that
are specific to placing Waypoints in Fishfinder mode.
A waypoint can be placed at the cursor position or at the vessel's current
position (this is sometimes known as an event mark); all waypoints placed on
the Fishfinder are stored in a waypoint database list with position, depth and
temperature when it was placed.
Waypoints placed on the Fishfinder are displayed as a solid vertical line on the
scrolling bottom, Zoom and Bottom Lock displays. The waypoint number is
shown at the top of the vertical line. The waypoint scrolls to the left with the
scrolling bottom display.
If you place a waypoint at the cursor position in Fishfinder mode, and a chart
window is open, the waypoint is displayed on the chart. You can GOTO, EDIT
and ERASE a cursor waypoint.
Note: When in chart mode, if you place a waypoint at the cursor position, it is
not shown on the Fishfinder display.
If you place a waypoint at the vessel position in Fishfinder mode it is shown in
the chart window.
