Waypoints - Raymarine e7D Installation And Operation Handbook

8.1 Waypoints

A waypoint is a position marked on the screen to indicate a site
or a place to navigate to.
As well as acting as position markers, waypoints are also the
building blocks used to create routes.
Common waypoint functions are accessed using the waypoints
menu. This can be shown at any time by pressing the WPT button.
