3.1 How to Enter Waypoints
In navigation terminology a waypoint is a particular location on a voyage, whether it
be a starting, intermediate or destination waypoint. Your unit can store 10,000 way-
points. Waypoints can be entered on the plotter display: at cursor position, at own
ship’s position, through the waypoints list and at the MOB position. Also, waypoints
can be entered automatically when your boat changes course prominently.
