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 or 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 3D Chart and CDI windows.  The details of 
each waypoint are stored in a waypoint list.  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.  

Networked systems

If you have networked two or more 
E-Series Displays, the waypoints are 
stored on the master display and 
transferred to other displays via the 
SeaTalk High Speed network.
