4. WAYPOINT
In navigation terminology, a waypoint is a particular location on a voyage
whether it be a starting, intermediate or destination point. A waypoint is the
simplest piece of information your equipment requires to get you to a destination,
in the shortest distance possible.
This unit has 2,000 waypoints into which you can enter position information. You
may enter a waypoint four ways: at own ship position, by cursor, at MOB position
(see chapter 1) and through the waypoint list (manual input of latitude and
longitude).
4.1 Entering Waypoints
4.1.1 Entering a waypoint at own ship position or cursor position
Turn the cursor off to enter a waypoint at own ship position, or turn it on to enter
a waypoint at cursor position.
A newly entered waypoint is saved to the waypoint list, under the youngest
empty waypoint number.
1. Press the [MOB/ WPT] key momentarily to store your position as a waypoint.
When the cursor is displayed, the waypoint is entered at the cursor position.
The new waypoint window appears and it shows waypoint name, position of
waypoint, waypoint mark shape and comment for newly entered waypoint.
