About Points

In navigation terminology, a point is any location you mark on the chart plotter display.
A point can be a fishing spot, reference point and other important locations. You can
use a point you have entered to set a destination.
This unit has 2,000 points into which you can enter position information. There are
three methods that you can use to mark a point:
• At your current position
• At cursor position
• From a Points list
When you enter a point, the point is put on the screen with the default point symbol
and the youngest empty point number. The position of the point, symbol and naviga-
tion information (range, bearing, etc.) are saved to the Points list. You can show or
hide the points, and the default setting shows all points.
You can edit a point on the screen or the Points list. At the Points list you can change
the symbol and its color, change position, etc.
