Point
The Point tool allows plotting isolated points on the chart in particular the positions of the
ship calculated manually from bearing lines, Radar, Dead reckoning or Astronomical
calculations.

Note:
The plotted points are stored in the logbook and therefore displayed / hidden in
real time on the chart during the replay of the logbook.
