  • Page 49: Chapter 3: Working With Waypoints

    Chapter 3: Working with Waypoints 3.1 Introduction Waypoints are a core feature of the A60 display. They can be created in the Chart or Fishfinder application and used by each application. Waypoints can be stored in the system, archived to a CompactFlash card or sent to or received from another NMEA compatible instrument.

  • Page 50: Man Overboard (Mob)

    The details of all waypoints, irrespective of the application they were created in, are stored in a dedicated Waypoint List. The A60 display is capable of storing up to 1,000 waypoints. If you reach this limit you can either delete those waypoints that you no longer use or archive those that are used infrequently to a CompactFlash card and then delete them from the system.
