Password protecting your waypoints
You can prevent access to, modification, and visibility of your
waypoints and routes by applying a password.
Password Confirmation
When Password Protection is enabled and you are attempting to
access a password protected function for the first time during a
power-cycle, the system will request confirmation of your password
before you can:
• Access WPTS key functions. This does not affect the operation of
the MOB function.
• Access ROUTE softkey functions.
• Create a route from a track. All other track functions are
unaffected.
• Archive or transfer any waypoints.
• Enter the Waypoint Password Setup menu.
Note: Once you have provided a password to the system, it must
be entered to access the Password Setup sub-menu, regardless
of the whether Password Protection is set to ON or OFF.
Note: Raymarine strongly recommends that you backup your
waypoint data BEFORE password protecting your waypoints.
This is so that, in the event that you forget your password, you
can easily restore your waypoints.
Disabled Data/Functions
When Password Protection is ON and you have not entered a
password, you will NOT be able to:
• View details of waypoint and route databases.
• Edit waypoints or routes.
• Goto an existing waypoint.
• Follow a route.
• View waypoints on screen (even when the SHOW/HIDE status
