Waypoints

A waypoint is a user generated mark positioned on a chart, on a radar image or on an
echosounder image. Each waypoint has an exact position with latitude and longitude
coordinates. A waypoint positioned on an echosounder image, will in addition to position
information have a depth value.
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.
