Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks
Waypoints
A waypoint is a user generated mark positioned on a chart, on a radar image or on the
Echosounder image. Each waypoint has an exact position with latitude and longitude
coordinates. A waypoint positioned on the Echosounder image has a depth value, in
addition to position information. 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.
Saving waypoints
You can save a waypoint at a selected location by positioning the cursor on the panel, and
then selecting the new waypoint option in the menu.
In the Chart and Nav panels, you can save a waypoint at the vessel position, when the cursor
is not active, by selecting the new waypoint option in the menu.
If your unit has a MARK key, you can press this key to immediately save a waypoint. If the
cursor is active, the waypoint is saved at the cursor position. If the cursor is not active, the
waypoint is saved at your vessel's position.
Moving a waypoint
1. Select the waypoint you want to move. The waypoint icon expands to indicate that it is
active.
2. Activate the menu and select the waypoint in the menu
3. Select the move option
4. Select the new waypoint position
5. Press the Enter key or the rotary knob to confirm the new position.
The waypoint is now automatically saved at the new position.
Edit a waypoint
You can edit all information about a waypoint from the Edit Waypoint dialog.
This dialog is activated by selecting the waypoint's pop-up, by pressing the rotary knob, or
from the menu when the waypoint is activated.
The dialog can also be accessed from the Waypoints tool on the Home page.
Waypoint alarm settings
You can set an alarm radius for each individual waypoint you create. The alarm is set in the
