About Points, Event Marks

In navigation terminology, a point is any location you mark on the chart plotter, radar,
sounder or weather display. A point can be a fishing spot, reference point or other im-
portant location. You can use a point you have entered to set as a destination.
This unit has 30,000 points (including event marks, MOB marks) into which you can
enter position information.
When you enter a point it is put on the screen with the point symbol selected as the
default point symbol. The position of the point, symbol and color information are saved
to the points list. You can show or hide the points, and the default setting shows all
points.

An event mark is used to mark current position on the plotter, radar, sounder and
weather displays. When you enter an event mark, it is entered on all of the above-
mentioned displays, with the event mark icon selected. The default event marks are
shown in the right figure. You can change them with the "default event symbol" items
in the [Points] menu.
You can edit points and event marks on the screen and from the points list.
Note 1: Event marks are handled the same as points.
Note 2: Points can be shared with other Multi-Function Display via LAN. Data is
shared automatically; no operation is required.
