Introduction to Navigation
Use your 500 Series™ Fishfinder to mark waypoints at areas of interest and to
navigate to those waypoints via a savable route. A route represents the shortest
intended distance between waypoints. You can also view and save tracks,
which represent the actual path of the boat.
Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks
Waypoints
are stored positions (latitude, longitude) that allow you to mark
areas of interest or navigation points (i.e. a marker buoy, dock, or fishing hole).
Your Fishfinder can store up to 3000 waypoints.
