Navigation Overview
Introduction to Navigation
Your Humminbird control head allows you to mark waypoints, create a route, and start navigating. Waypoints, routes, and tracks
can be managed on-screen so you can save your favorites, edit names, and easily return to your favorite destinations.
There are many ways to start navigation or edit navigation data with your Humminbird control head. The instructions in this section
review navigation features on the chart views.
NOTE:
For details about chartplotters and navigation, see your control head operations manual and the Waypoint Management Guide. The
manuals are included on the CD that was included with your control head, or you can download these manuals from our Web site at
