Introduction To Navigation; Waypoints, Routes, And Tracks - Humminbird 1158c Combo Installation And Operation Manual

Introduction to Navigation

Use the 1100 Series™ to establish waypoints at areas of interest and to navigate to those
waypoints via a saveable route (representing the shortest intended distance between
waypoints). You can also view and save tracks, which represent the actual path of the boat.

Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks

Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest or navigation points.
Your 1100 Series™ can store up to 3000 waypoints.
Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation, and are used in trip
planning. You can link individual waypoints together by using the GOTO key. A route represents
your intended navigation and shows the shortest path from each waypoint to the next. As you
travel a route, staying on the route line is the most efficient way to get to your destination,
although you should always look out for obstacles not shown on the chart. Your 1100 Series™
can store up to 50 routes that can each contain up to 50 waypoints.
Tracks consist of detailed position history, and are displayed as a breadcrumb trail of
trackpoints. The Current Track shows the position history since the unit was powered up
(maximum of 20,000 trackpoints displayed). You can clear the Current Track or save it at any
time. Your 1100 Series™ can store up to 50 saved tracks, each containing 20,000 trackpoints.
The current track represents your actual path so far.
