Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks

Waypoints

A waypoint is a user generated mark positioned on a chart, or on
the Echosounder image. Each waypoint has an exact position with
latitude and longitude coordinates. A waypoint positioned on the
Echosounder image has a depth value, in addition to position
information. A waypoint is used to mark a position you later may
want to return to. Two or more waypoints can also be combined to
create a route.

cursor on the panel, and then selecting the new waypoint option in

In the Chart and Nav panels, you can save a waypoint at the vessel

waypoint option in the menu.
