How to use points
A point marks a geographical position on the chart plotter. You can mark points at the cursor po-
sition, ship’s position, or at a specified location. Points are marked on the screen with the way-
point symbols( ) and waypoint numbers. Points are stored in the points list, where you can
edit, delete or group waypoints as desired.
