key lets you to place up to 998 waypoints. A waypoint is a
position, normally entered on a chart as a reference, or as a place to go to.
However, units with Raychart functionality (L770DRC Plus and L1260DRC
Plus) let you place waypoints in Sonar mode as well as Chartplotter mode.
Note: You can only place a waypoint in Sonar mode if you have valid position
data from a GPS.
Waypoints are described fully in Chapter 7 . This section provides details that
are specific to placing Waypoints in Sonar mode.
A waypoint can be placed at the cursor position or at the vessel’s current
position; this is sometimes known as an event mark. All waypoints placed on
the Fishfinder are stored in a waypoint database list with position, depth and
temperature when it was placed.
Waypoints placed on the Fishfinder are displayed as a solid vertical line on the
scrolling bottom, Zoom and Bottom Lock displays. The waypoint number is
shown at the top of the vertical line. The waypoint scrolls to the left with the
scrolling bottom display.
If you place a waypoint at the cursor position in Sonar mode and a chart
window is open, the waypoint is displayed on the chart. You can
GOTO, EDIT
and
ERASE
a cursor waypoint.
Note: When in chart mode, if you place a waypoint at the cursor position, it is
not shown on the Fishfinder display.
If you place a waypoint at the vessel position in Sonar mode it is shown in the
chart window.
