What is a waypoint?

A waypoint is a position marked on a chart, radar or fishfinder screen

to indicate a site (for fishing, diving etc), or as a position to go to. You

can place a waypoint at the cursor or your boat's position or at a

specified position. Waypoints are represented in chart or radar

applications as an 'X' (default) and by a vertical line labeled WPT in

Fishfinder. Active waypoints are displayed on 3D Chart and CDI

windows. The details of each waypoint are stored in a waypoint list.

Waypoints can be renamed, edited, grouped, or erased, as necessary.

To make full use of waypoint features, ensure your display is receiving

heading and position data. We recommend that you regularly back-up

your waypoints by archiving them to a CompactFlash card. Waypoints

can also be transferred to another NMEA compatible instrument.

Networked systems

If you have networked two or more

E-Series Displays, the waypoints are

stored on the master display and

transferred to other displays via the

SeaTalk High Speed network.
