What is a waypoint?
A waypoint is a position marked on a chart, radar or fishfinder screen to
indicate a site (for fishing, diving etc), or as a position to go to. You can
place a waypoint at the cursor position, your boat's position or at a
specified position. Waypoints are represented in chart or radar applications
as an 'X' (default) and by a vertical line labeled WPT in Fishfinder. Active
waypoints are displayed on CDI windows. The details of each waypoint
are stored in a waypoint list (1000 waypoints maximum). Waypoints can
be renamed, edited, grouped, or erased, as necessary. To make full use of
waypoint features, ensure your display is receiving heading and position
data. We recommend that you regularly back-up your waypoints by
archiving them to a CompactFlash card. Waypoints can also be transferred
to another NMEA compatible instrument.
CAUTION
Always check that your route to a
waypoint is safe before travelling
towards it.
