Waypoint:
A Waypoint is the saved location (latitude, longitude) of a point of
interest that is stored in a GPS receiver’s memory. This can include a marker
buoy, dock, fishing hole or anywhere else the user may want to return to.
Humminbird® products offer the ability to name and assign a symbol to the
saved location. Depth, Date and Time of Day when the waypoint was created is
also saved.
Waypoint Target:
Waypoint Target is a Humminbird® feature that displays a
precise “bull’s eye” around a selected waypoint. This bull’s eye is used to easily
monitor boat position relative to a waypoint, and is useful for fishing over
submerged structure. With Waypoint Targets, a quick look at the screen lets you
know how far off the waypoint the boat has drifted
.
