21 Navigation Overview
Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest or navigation points.
Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation and are used in trip planning.
A route represents your intended navigation and shows the shortest path from each waypoint to the next. As you travel a route,
staying on the route line is the most efficient way to get to your destination, although you should always look out for obstacles not
shown on the track. A Route Leg is the path between each waypoint in a route.
Tracks consist of a detailed position history and are displayed as a breadcrumb trail of trackpoints. The Current Track shows the
position history since the unit was powered up. You can clear the Current Track or save it at any time. The current track represents
your actual path so far.
NOTE:
The maximum number of waypoints, routes, and tracks may vary due to your Humminbird control head model. See your
control head operations manual for details.
