Waypoints
A waypoint is a mark positioned on a chart, on a radar image or on an echosounder
image. Each waypoint has an exact position with latitude and longitude coordinates. A
waypoint positioned on an echosounder image, will in addition to position information,
have a depth value.
A waypoint is used to mark a position you later may want to return to. Two or more
waypoints can also be combined to create a route.
