Setting Course By Waypoints - Furuno GP-280 Operator's Manual

5.4 Setting Course by Waypoints

A waypoint is the simplest piece of information the GP/GD-280/380/680 requires to guide you to
your destination. When a waypoint is set as destination, a straight line connects own ship
position with waypoint position. This line shows the shortest possible distance to the destination.
In Chapter 1 you learned how to set a course from own ship position to a waypoint. This
paragraph shows you how to set a course between two waypoints.
