Chapter 6 - Understanding the Waypoints Function
Introducing waypoints
The term waypoint refers to a point (a location) that you’ve
entered into the 958’s memory. The waypoint appears on the
chart with the symbol you’ve chosen. In contrast, the term
nav
aid refers to a point that’s permanently stored on the
Navionics chart cartridge.
Here are some of the functions you can perform with
waypoints:
•
go to a point on the
CHART
screen in one step (making a
“quick” waypoint)
•
store waypoints into the 958
•
go to these waypoints
•
string these waypoints together to form routes
•
follow these routes
•
edit or erase waypoints or routes
•
plot waypoints or routes
• transfer all waypoints (and routes) between any two 958’s
• transfer waypoints (and routes) from the 958 to a PC, and
back again
Displaying waypoints
You can display waypoints in any of four ways:
•
A graphic (chart) view of waypoints
•
A list of up to 30 local waypoints, sorted by nearest first
•
A list of all waypoints, sorted alphabetically
•
A list of up to 30 local avoidance waypoints, sorted by
nearest first
First, press the
WAYPTS/ROUTES
key, then the
WAYPOINTS
menu key. To view the
LOCAL, ALPHA,
and
AVOID
waypoint
lists, press the
NEXT VIEW
menu key. The 958 displays the
type of list at the top of the screen. Each press of the
NEXT
VIEW
menu key cycles through the waypoint viewing list in
