Nearest Waypoint List
The second waypoint submenu list available from the ‘Waypt’ tab is the ‘Nearest’ list, which shows
the ten nearest waypoints that are within 100 miles of your present position. The nearest waypoints
are continuously updated to your present position, and provide quick access to the closest points of
safety in emergency situations.
To scroll through and review the nearest waypoint list:
1. Highlight the ‘Nearest’ tab, then use the ARROW KEYPAD to scroll through the list in either
direction.
2. Press ENTER/MARK to review the highlighted waypoint.
3. To return to the waypoint list, highlight the ‘OK’ prompt and press ENTER/MARK.
4. The fi eld highlight will automatically scroll to the next waypoint. If you want to review each
waypoint, you can scroll through any waypoint list by pressing the ENTER/MARK key repeatedly.
To select a nearest waypoint as a NAV/MOB destination:
1. Use the ARROW KEYPAD key to select the desired waypoint.
2. Press NAV/MOB, followed by ENTER/MARK.
Proximity Waypoint List
The third waypoint submenu list available from the ‘Waypt’ tab is the ‘Proximity’ list, which lets
you defi ne an alarm circle around a stored waypoint position, and can be used to help you avoid reefs,
rocks or restricted waters. Up to ten waypoints may be listed, with a maximum alarm radius of 99.99
nautical or statute miles or kilometers. If a proximity alarm circle overlaps with an existing alarm circle,
a ‘Proximity Overlaps Another Proximity Waypoint’ message will appear each time the unit is turned
on. If you enter an alarm circle overlap, you will only be alerted to the closest proximity waypoint.
