Introduction To Navigation; Waypoints, Routes, And Tracks - Humminbird 800 series Operation Manual

Nearest Current Station: Current information for the nearest current station
to your present position will be displayed. This includes the position of the
station and the current changes for today. Two graphs are also presented
that show the time, direction, and flow speed of the current changes for the
24 hour time period of today's date. You can change the date to look at
current information before or after the date displayed by pressing the LEFT
or RIGHT Cursor key respectively. Press the EXIT key to remove the
information box, and the cursor bull's eye will be centered over the current
station position. The cursor information boxes will indicate the distance and
bearing to the current station from your present position.

Introduction to Navigation

Your Fishing System allows you to mark waypoints and start navigation with
the control head keys or the Navigation X-Press™ Menu.
You can also use the Waypoint Management dialog box to create new
waypoints and routes from scratch. You can edit your navigation data and
organize it too. This section will get you started. See your Humminbird®
Waypoint Management Guide for complete details.

Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest or
navigation points. Your Fishing System can store up to 2,750 waypoints.
Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation and
are used in trip planning. You can link individual waypoints together by using
the GOTO key. Your Fishing System can store up to 45 routes that can each
contain up to 50 waypoints.
