Waypoints

Waypoints are locations you record and store in the device. Waypoints can mark where you are, where you are
going, or where you have been. You can add details about the location, such as name, elevation, and depth.

Marking Your Present Location as a Waypoint

From any screen, select MARK/SOS.

Creating a Waypoint at a Different Location

1 From a chart, select NAV INFO > Waypoints > New Waypoint.
2 Select an option:
• To create the waypoint by entering position coordinates, select Enter Coordinates, and enter the
coordinates.
• To create the waypoint using a chart, select Use Chart, select the location, and select Create Waypoint.
• To create the waypoint using a range (distance) and bearing, select Enter Range/Bearing, and enter the
information.

Marking a Man Overboard or Other SOS Location

You must connect a VHF radio to the chartplotter before you can use the chartplotter to initiate SOS calls.
You can use the chartplotter to mark a man overboard or SOS location and immediately begin navigating to
the marked location. If you have a VHF radio connected to the chartplotter, you can also broadcast the SOS
information.
1 Hold MARK/SOS for one second.
2 Select Man Overboard or the SOS type.
3 If necessary, select Yes to navigate to the SOS location.
If you selected Yes, the chartplotter sets a direct course back to the location.
The call details are sent to the VHF radio. You must send the call using the radio.

Projecting a Waypoint

You can create a new waypoint by projecting the distance and bearing from a different location. This can be
helpful when creating sail racing start and finish lines.
1 Select NAV INFO > Waypoints > New Waypoint > Enter Range/Bearing.
2 If necessary, select a reference point on the chart.
3 Select Enter Range/Bearing.
4 Enter the distance, and select Done.
5 Enter the bearing, and select Done.
6 Select Create Waypoint.
