Waypoint procedures

A waypoint refers to the latitude, longitude and name of a place that
you have entered into the radio. A waypoint can be a destination, a
point along a planned course, or any location useful for navigation,
such as a fishing spot.
You can use waypoints as follows:
•
Display the coordinates, bearing and distance to a waypoint on
the standby screen. See "Navigating to a waypoint" on page
43.
•
Output a waypoint's coordinates and other details via NMEA
2000 for display on a chart plotter or other compatible device.
See "Sending waypoint data to a chart plotter" on page 44.
The RS90 can store up to 200 waypoints.
