The small letter
“S”
to the right of the waypoint name tells you
that the displayed coordinates, either lat/lon or TDs, were the
ones used to originally store the waypoint.
Creating new waypoints
There are two easy ways to create new waypoints:
•
graphically--by storing their positions after pointing to
them on the
CHART
screen
•
numerically--by entering position coordinates as lat/lon,
loran TDs, or distance and bearing on the
NEW WAYPOINT
screen
Assigning a name
and description
To permanently store a waypoint, you must give it a
name
.
The name can be from one to six characters long, and must be
different from all the other waypoint names stored in the 957.
You can also enter a description of up to 16 characters on the
line below the name.
Assigning a symbol
You can give the waypoint a symbol so you can easily identify
it on the
CHART
screen. When creating or editing waypoints,
you can choose from any one of 16 symbols, eight of which
are shown below.
ANCHOR
FISH
FLAG
X
FUEL
WRECK
DANGER
DOT
