Using the SAVE key
The
SAVE
key instantly saves your vessel’s position as a
waypoint—at any time, on any screen, during any function.
Press the
SAVE
key to store your position. This new waypoint
is automatically given a name, such as -
S001-
, where the letter
S
indicates a saved waypoint and the three-digit number
increases by one (
-S002-
,
-S003-
, etc.) every time you save a
new waypoint this way. Three-digit numbering of waypoints
will restart at -
S001-
, which means the 958 will start to
overwrite the existing numbered waypoints, as soon as the 958
reaches the maximum number of saved waypoints you’ve set.
For details about using the
MAX SAVED WAYPT #
function in
the
DISPLAY OPTIONS
menu, see ”Choosing the number of
saved waypoints” starting on page 166.
Using the MOB key
To enter Man Overboard mode (MOB), press the
MOB
key to
display the
MAN OVERBOARD
info window. The 958 will save
your position and display it on the
CHART
screen as a
waypoint with the name –
MOB–
and the dot waypoint symbol.
The zoom level will be set automatically to the maximum
detail of 1/4 nm range. The
CHART
screen locks, showing your
vessel’s position and the MOB location. The MOB location has
Cursor pointers
