signal, GPS accuracy is improved to within 3 meters 95% of the time. Outside the United States,
regional governmental coalitions have created similar systems such as EGNOS (Europe) and
MSAS (Japan).
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.
