Marine Mode: Using Waypoints and Tracks
Marine Mode: Using Waypoints
and Tracks
Create waypoints in locations that you want to return to, such
as your marina or a good fishing spot. You can store up to 1,500
marine waypoints with a user-defined name, symbol, depth, and
water temperature for each waypoint.
A track is a recording of your path. The track currently being
recorded is the active track. You can save your active track.
Using Man Overboard (MOB) Waypoints
Use a Man Overboard (MOB) waypoint to both create a waypoint
with an international MOB symbol ( ) and immediately begin
navigating to the MOB waypoint with a direct course (Go To).
To mark an MOB waypoint from the Home screen:
1. Touch Man Overboard . This immediately marks your current
position as an MOB waypoint.
