3.8 Waypoints

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 999 waypoints into which you can enter position information. You may enter a

waypoint five ways: at own ship position, at MOB position (see page 1-11 for details), by

cursor, by range and bearing, and through the waypoint list (manual input of latitude and

longitude).
