Points and Event Marks
A point, in navigation terminology, is a location you mark on the display. A point can
be a fishing spot, reference point and other important locations. You can create a new
point from the Plotter, Radar, Fish Finder or Weather screens. You can also set a point
as a destination and create a route.
An event mark is a point which marks the own position. You can create a new event
mark from the Plotter, Radar, Fish Finder or Weather screens. You can also set an
event mark as a destination and create a route.
When you create a point or event mark, an icon appears at the location where the
point/mark is created. Both points and event marks are number in ascending order, as
they are created. Points/event marks are also named accordingly. For example, the
first point you create is stored with the name "PT00001" and the first event mark is
stored with the name "EV00001".
The position of the point, symbol and navigation information (range, bearing, etc.) are
saved to the [Points List]. You can show or hide the points, and the default setting
shows all points. You can edit a point on the screen or from the [Points List].
