Waypoints
Waypoints are locations you record and store in the device. Waypoints can mark where you are, where you are
going, or where you have been. You can add details about the location, such as name, elevation, and depth.
Marking Your Present Location as a Waypoint
From any screen, select Mark.
Creating a Waypoint at a Different Location
1 Select Waypoints > New Waypoint.
2 Select an option:
• To create the waypoint by entering position coordinates, select Enter Coordinates, and enter the
coordinates.
• To create the waypoint using a chart, select Use Chart, select the location, and select Select.
• To create the waypoint using a range (distance) and bearing, select Enter Range/Bearing, and enter the
information.
Marking an SOS Location
You can mark an SOS or MOB (man overboard) location.
