Raynav 300 GPS Plotter
3.3 Working with Waypoints
Introduction
You can place up to 998 waypoints on the GPS Plotter.
A waypoint is a position entered on the display as a reference or
destination point. All waypoints
placed on the GPS Plotter
are stored in a
waypoint database list which includes symbol, position, bearing, range
and additional data. All waypoints in the database are displayed on the
plotter screen, unless you set waypoint display off in the Set Up menu, as
described in
Plotter Set Up Parameters
on
page 4-8
. You can select a
waypoint, either graphically or from the Waypoint List, for editing.
The waypoint can be placed either at the current cursor position or
numerically at the current vessel’s position. Waypoints can also be
entered manually as either Lat/Long coordinates or Loran TDs which are
automatically converted to Lat/Long coordinates. A waypoint placed at
the vessel’s position includes additional information (if available)
providing depth, temperature and time when it was placed. Any type of
waypoint can be included in a route.
Note:
You can place waypoints before you install the GPS Plotter on
your vessel.
When a new waypoint is placed, it uses either the factory default symbol
(a cross) or an alternative symbol available from the Set Up menu, see
Plotter Set Up Parameters
on
page 4-8
. The waypoint is added to the
Waypoint List and tagged with the next available number. The
waypoint’s symbol and name can be edited at any time. When the cursor
is positioned over a waypoint, the waypoint bearing and range are
displayed in a pop-up box.
Waypoints in the current route are available on other SeaTalk instruments
that support current route transfer, for example, an ST80 Masterview.
You can also transfer waypoints between the GPS Plotter and other
NMEA or SeaTalk instruments using the Waypoint Transfer functions.
This section explains how to perform the following tasks using the
on-screen cursor and the waypoint list:
•
Placing a Waypoint
•
Selecting a Waypoint
•
Displaying Waypoint data
•
Editing a Waypoint (symbol, name & position)
•
Erasing a Waypoint
