Waypoints
A waypoint is a location on the chart defined by unique latitude and longitude coordinates.
They can be created in the GN70/MX61x using the following methods:
• Saving the vessel position
• Using Lat/Long coordinates taken from a chart
• Specified range and bearing.
Positioning waypoints
Saving the vessel’s position as a waypoint
The easiest method to create a waypoint is by saving the vessel’s position. This is done by a
momentary press of the MOB key. This action will save the position Lat/Long into the next
vacant waypoint number.
¼ Note: The MOB key is a two function key. A momentarily press saves the position L/L into the
next vacant waypoint. Press and hold the MOB key for 3 seconds, will save the position as
MOB and will calculate range and bearing back to that point.
Creating or editing waypoints
A Waypoint can be created (or edited) by using the procedure below:
1. Press the MENU key to bring up the quick menu.
2. Scroll to Wpt/Rte/Trk... and press the ENT key.
3. Turn the rotary knob to highlight the “New Waypoint...”
4. Press the ENT key to bring up the waypoint dialog box.
¼ Note: You may also press the MENU key to bring up the sub-menu and then select “New...”
for a new waypoint entry, then press the ENT key.
The position L/L coordinates is copied on the waypoint position field for a new waypoint.
5. Rotate the knob to move the highlight to the Waypoint L/L field, then press the ENT key. The
virtual numeric keypad will appear.
