1.19 Waypoints
A waypoint can be used to mark a school of
fish, reef, etc., and 20 waypoints may be en-
tered. You can set a waypoint as a destination
to get the range, bearing and time to go that
point. The latitude and longitude position of
the waypoint can be output to a navigation de-
vice, using the TLL sentence.
Note 1: The waypoint feature requires latitude
and longitude position from a navigator.
Note 2: The waypoint feature is not available
when the Tankenmaru feature is active.
1.19.1 How to register a way-
point
There are two ways to register a waypoint: di-
rectly on the screen or manual input of latitude
and longitude.
How to register a waypoint on the screen
1. Press the MARK key. The cross cursor
appears on the screen together with guid-
ance on how to enter a waypoint. To reg-
ister a waypoint to your current position,
go to step 3.
Note: If there is no position data the mes-
sage "No position data!" appears. Check
the navigator.
2. Operate the TrackPad to set the cross
cursor where desired. Up, down for verti-
cal movement; left, right for horizontal
movement. Picture advancement is
stopped until step 3 is completed.
3. Press the MARK or ENTER key to regis-
ter the position set at step 2. A red vertical
line appears on the position set at step 2.
The waypoint is automatically named with
the next sequential waypoint number. If
you want to change waypoint name, go to
step 4. Otherwise, go to step 6.
Note 1: When [TLL] or [FURUNO-TLL] is
selected at [TLL Output] on the [NMEA]
menu of the [System] menu, the latitude
and longitude position at the cursor posi-
tion is output to the navigator.
Note 2: If you attempt to enter more than
20 waypoints, the message "Already en-
tered 20 waypoints. No more waypoint
can be entered." appears. In this case,
erase an unwanted waypoint to enable
entry. (See paragraph 1.19.3 for details.)
However, the L/L position is output to the
connected equipment.
4. Press the ENTER key to open the way-
point name entry box.
5. Enter the waypoint name (Max. 8 charac-
ters).
6. Press the MENU/ESC key to close the
window.
