Creating and Using Waypoints
You can store up to 1,500 alphanumeric waypoints with a user-
denedname,symbol,depth,andwatertempforeachwaypoint.
When you create a waypoint, you can designate it as a Man
Overboard. This marks the point and sets a course back to the
marked location. When Man Overboard is activated, an MOB
waypoint with an international Man Overboard symbol is created
and the unit navigates to that point.
To mark your location:
1. From any screen, press MARK.
2. Select Back to return to the chart, or select Man Overboard
to designate the waypoint as an MOB.
NOTE: Pressing the MARK key only creates a waypoint at
your present location.
To create a new waypoint:
1. On the Navigation or Fishing chart, move the map pointer to
the location you want, and press SELECT.
2. Select Create Waypoint.
3. Select one of the following:
• Edit Waypoint—customize the waypoint attributes.
• Delete—delete the waypoint.
• Navigate To—go to the waypoint.
• Back—return to the navigation chart.
