The moving waypoint mode is indicated on top of the panel.
The waypoints can also be edited from the Waypoint list as

Waypoint alarm settings
You can set an alarm radius for each individual waypoint you
create.
When the waypoint alarm is toggled ON in the alarm panel, an
alarm message will be activated when your vessel comes within
the defined radius.
If you want to set an alarm radius for a route point, it must fi rst
be converted to a waypoint.
Tracks
A track is a graphical presentation of the historical path
of the vessel, allowing you to retrace your travel. A track
can later be converted to a route in the Tracks dialog
described later in this section.
From the factory, the system is set to automatically
track the vessel’s movement. The system will continue
to record the track until the track length reaches the
maximum trail point setting, and will then automatically
begin overwriting the oldest track points.
The automatic tracking function can be turned off from the Tracks library as described
later in this section.
Track Settings
The track is made up of a series of track points connected by line
segments whose length depends on the frequency of track recording.
You can select to position track points based on time settings,
distance, or by letting the Zeus system place track points
automatically when a course change is registered.
The Tracks option must also be turned ON in the chart settings to be visible! Refer the
Chart section.
Creating a New Track
You define the track settings and start the
new track from the Plot menu.
A new track can also be started from the
Tracks library described later in this chapter.
