5.3 Working with Waypoints
Introduction
The Chartplotter enables you to place up to 998 waypoints(in addition,
waypointnumber 999 is used for MOB operation):a waypoint is a position
enteredonachartasareference,orasaplacetogoto.Allwaypointsplacedon
the chartplotter arestored in a waypointdatabaselistwhich includessymbol,
position,bearing,range and additionaldata.All waypointsin the databaseare
displayedon the screen,unless you set waypoint displayoffin the Chart Set
Up menu, as described in Chapter 7. You can select a waypoint,either on-
screen or from the list, for editing.
A waypointcan be placed at the cursor position, or at the vessel’s current
position(thisis sometimes known as an event mark);a waypoint at the vessel
positionincludes additionalinformation (if available)on the depth and
temperature when it was placed. Alternatively, youcan manuallyenter
Waypoints as either Lat/Long coordinates or Loran TDs which are
automatically converted into Lat/Long coordinates. All waypoints can be
includedin a route.You canplace waypoints, using simulator mode, before
you install the chartplotteron your vessel.
Note:Radar marks may also be displayed on the screenif your chartplotteris
a combined radar/chartplotter or is part of an integrated system; these are
screen annotations - you cannot GOTO marks, nor include them in routes.
When you place a new waypoint, it is displayedusing the default symbol ofa
cross (unless you have changed the symbol in Chart SetUp). The waypoint is
addedtothewaypointlist and taggedwiththenextavailablenumber. Youcan
use the edit functionsto change the symbol and name. When the cursor is
positioned over a waypoint,the waypointbearingand range are displayed.
