1.18 Waypoints
Waypoints are used to:
• Record the position of an important echo as
a waypoint, and 20 points can be saved.
• Output a waypoint position to a chart plotter
to mark position on its screen.
• Find range, bearing and time-to-go to a lo-
cation (waypoint).
This feature requires position data, fed from a
GPS navigator.
1.18.1 Entering a waypoint
There are two ways to enter a waypoint: di-
rectly enter it from the screen, or manually en-
ter its latitude and longitude coordinates from
the menu.
Entering a waypoint from the screen

pears along with waypoint entry instruc-
tions. To enter a waypoint at current
position, go to step 3.
Note: If there is no position data, the mes-
sage "No position data" appears.
2. Use the Cursor pad to set the cursor
where desired. Picture does not advance
until step 3 is completed, and the instruc-
tion window is integrated into the data

You can choose the echo to show on the

useful for finding the intensity of a specific
echo.

save the position. A red vertical line ap-
pears at the position. The waypoint is

Otherwise, go to step 6.

selected at TLL Output on the NMEA

tered. When you attempt to enter more
