3.1 What is a Point?
In navigation terminology, a point is any location you mark on the plotter display. A
point can be a fishing spot, reference point or other important locations. You can use
a point you have entered to set a destination and create a route.
This unit has 30,000 points into which you can enter position information. There are
three methods that you can use to mark a point:
• At the own ship's position
• At cursor position
• Enter position from [Points List]
When you enter a point, the point is put on the screen with the point symbol selected
as the default point symbol, with the youngest empty point number. The position of the
point, symbol and navigation information (range, bearing, etc.) are saved to [Points
List].
You can show or hide points from [Points List].
You can edit a point from [Points List] and the pop-up menu displayed when you tap
a point symbol.
Note: A maximum of 200 points can be shown on the display.
