Waypoints, Routes & Tracks 5.
Waypoints
A waypoint is a user generated mark positioned on a chart, on a radar image or on an
echosounder image. Each waypoint has an exact position with latitude and longitude
coordinates. A waypoint positioned on an echosounder image will in addition to position
information have a depth value.
A waypoint is used to mark a position you may later want to return to. Two or more
waypoints can also be combined to create a route.

You can place a waypoint at the vessel position from any panel by pressing the ‘PLOT’
key:
Short press: activates the Plot menu from which you can select the ‘New Waypoint
-
at Vessel’ option. The ‘Edit Waypoint’ dialog is opened allowing the entry of specific
details.
Press and hold: plots a waypoint at the vessel’s current position.
