AYPOINTS
Waypoints are saved latitude/longitude positions. They mark a position of interest such as your favorite fishing area, structure, or
marker buoy. The control head saves the position and allows you to edit the waypoint name, icon, and more (see Manage your
Navigation Data). You can save 2,500 waypoints to the control head.
Customize Waypoint Display Settings
You can use the waypoint settings provided by your control head, or you can customize the waypoints shown on the view. You can
also edit waypoints from the Chart View or from the Waypoint Management dialog box (see Manage your Navigation Data).
