Waypoints, routes and tracks
Waypoints
A waypoint is a user generated mark positioned on a chart or on a radar image. Each
waypoint has an exact position with latitude and longitude coordinates.
A waypoint is used to mark a position you later may want to return to. Two or more
waypoints can also be combined to create a route.
Saving waypoints
You can save a waypoint at a selected location by positioning the cursor on the panel, then
selecting the new waypoint option in the menu.
If your unit has a MARK key, you can press this key to immediately save a waypoint. If the
cursor is active the waypoint will be saved at the cursor position. If the cursor is not active the
waypoint will be saved at your vessel's position.
Moving a waypoint
1. Select the waypoint you want to move
- The waypoint icon will expand to indicate that it is active
2. Activate the menu and select the move option
3. Tap the chart to select a new position for the waypoint
4. Press the Enter key or the rotary knob to confirm the new position
The waypoint is now automatically saved at the new position.
Edit a waypoint
You can edit all information about a waypoint from the Edit Waypoint dialog. This dialog is
activated by tapping the waypoint's pop-up, by pressing the rotary knob, or from the menu
when the waypoint is activated.
The dialog can also be accessed from the Waypoints tool on the Home page.
Waypoint alarm settings
You can set an alarm radius for each individual waypoint you create. The alarm is set in the
Edit Waypoint dialog.
Ú Note: The waypoint radius alarm must be toggled ON in the alarm panel to activate an alarm
when your vessel comes within the defined radius.
