Introduction To Navigation; Waypoints, Routes, And Tracks - Humminbird 500 Series Operation Manual

Introduction to Navigation

Use your 500 Series™ Fishfinder to mark waypoints at areas of interest and to
navigate to those waypoints via a savable route. A route represents 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 (latitude, longitude) that allow you to mark
areas of interest or navigation points (i.e. a marker buoy, dock, or fishing hole).
Your Fishfinder can store up to 3000 waypoints.
