Waypoints
A waypoint is a location on the chart defined by unique latitude and longitude coordinates.
They can be created in the GN70/MX61x using the following methods:
• Saving the vessel position
• Using Lat/Long coordinates taken from a chart
• Specified range and bearing.
Positioning waypoints
Saving the vessel’s position as a waypoint
The easiest method to create a waypoint is by saving the vessel’s position. This is done by a
momentary press of the
MOB
key. This action will save the position Lat/Long into the next
vacant waypoint number.
¼
Note:
The
MOB
key is a two function key. A momentarily press saves the position L/L into the
next vacant waypoint. Press and hold the
MOB
key for 3 seconds, will save the position as
MOB and will calculate range and bearing back to that point.
