Humminbird 67 manual Introduction to Navigation, Waypoints, Routes and Tracks

Introduction to Navigation

Use the Matrix Fishing System to establish waypoints at areas of interest and to navigate to those waypoints via a saveable route (representing the shortest intended distance between waypoints). You can also view and save tracks, which represent the actual path of the boat.

Waypoints, Routes and Tracks

Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest or navigation points. Your Matrix Fishing System can store up to 750 waypoints.

Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation, and are used in trip planning. You can link individual waypoints together by using the GOTO key. A route represents your intended navigation and shows the shortest path from each waypoint to the next. As you travel a route, staying on the route line is the most efficient way to get to your destination, although you should always look out for obstacles not shown on the chart. Your Matrix Fishing System can store up to 10 routes that can each contain up to 20 waypoints.

Tracks consist of detailed position history, and are displayed as a breadcrumb trail of trackpoints. The Current Track shows the position history since the unit was powered up (maximum of 2000 trackpoints displayed). You can clear the Current Track or save it at any time. Your Matrix Fishing System can store up to 10 saved tracks, each containing 2000 trackpoints. The current track represents your actual path so far.
