AYPOINTS
Waypoints are saved latitude/longitude positions. They mark a position of interest, such as your favorite fishing area, structure, or
marker buoy. Waypoints work similar to Spot-Locks. When i-Pilot Link navigates waypoints, it takes control over all steering functions.
Speed can be manually controlled or Cruise Control can be used. You can save a combination of 2,750 Spot-Locks and waypoints
on your HELIX control head. For more information about waypoints, see the HELIX Operations Manual.
WARNING! Watch for a turning propeller and be prepared for boat movement when working with waypoints. If Prop Auto On is turned
on, the propeller will automatically turn on when a waypoint is engaged, even if the engagement is accidental. A turning propeller can
cause injury.
