Waypoints, Routes and Tracks

 

Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to

Waypoint

mark areas of interest or navigation points. Your

 

Matrix can store up to 750 waypoints.

Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation, and are used in trip

RouteTrack planning. You can link individual waypoints together via menus or select them on-screen to create a route. 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. Your Matrix can store up to 20 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. You can clear the Current Track or save it at any time. Your Matrix can store up to 10 saved tracks, each containing 700 trackpoints. The current track represents your actual path so far.

Save, Edit, or Delete a Waypoint

Save your current position as a waypoint: On any view, press the MARK key to save the current position of the boat as a waypoint.

Save the cursor position as a waypoint: On the Combo or Track view, use the Cursor key to designate the position you want to save as a waypoint. Then press the MARK key to save the marked position as a waypoint.

Save a position from the sonar history: On the Sonar view, use the Cursor key to point to a feature in the sonar history (also called the Sonar Saver feature). Press the MARK key to create a waypoint at the location where that sonar reading was taken. The new waypoint will also record the depth at that location.

NOTE: When you save a waypoint by any of these methods, a numerical waypoint name is automatically assigned. You can edit the waypoint information later to give it a different name and select an icon to represent it (see Edit a Waypoint).

Easy-to-use controls and a straightforward interface make navigating through menus and settings hassle-free.
