Waypoints, Routes, and Trails dialogs

These dialogs give access to advanced edit functions and settings
for these items.

Waypoints

A waypoint is a user generated mark positioned on a chart, on a
radar image or on the Sonar image. Each waypoint has an exact
position with latitude and longitude coordinates. A waypoint
positioned on the Sonar image has a depth value, in addition to
position information. A waypoint is used to mark a position you later
may want to return to. Two or more waypoints can also be
combined to create a route.
Saving waypoints
A waypoint is saved at the cursor position if active or at the vessel's
position if the cursor is not active on the panel. To save a waypoint:
• Use the new waypoint option in the menu
• Press the Waypoint key
- Press once to open the New Waypoint dialog
- Press twice to quickly save a waypoint
New Waypoint icon
When selected, the dialog with waypoint symbol alternatives is
displayed. Selecting a waypoint symbol creates the waypoint at
cursor or vessel position with the selected symbol. This mode is
persistent, the next time you create a new waypoint the same
dialog opens and if you select a symbol a waypoint is created with
the symbol.
