What is a waypoint?

A waypoint is a position marked on a chart, radar or fishfinder screen to indicate a site (for fishing, diving etc), or as a position to go to. You can place a waypoint at the cursor or your boat's position or at a specified position. Waypoints are represented in chart or radar applications as an 'X' (default) and by a vertical line labeled WPT in Fishfinder. Active waypoints are displayed on 3D Chart and CDI windows. The details of each waypoint are stored in a waypoint list. Waypoints can be renamed, edited, grouped, or erased, as necessary. To make full use of waypoint features, ensure your display is receiving heading and position data. We recommend that you regularly back-up your waypoints by archiving them to a CompactFlash card. Waypoints can also be transferred to another NMEA compatible instrument.

Networked systems

If you have networked two or more E-Series Displays, the waypoints are stored on the master display and transferred to other displays via the SeaTalk High Speed network.

Marine RADAR specifications

Raymarine Marine RADAR systems are essential tools for navigating the high seas, providing boaters with unparalleled situational awareness and safety. Designed for both recreational and commercial vessels, Raymarine RADAR technology integrates advanced features and functionalities that enhance maritime experiences.

One of the standout characteristics of Raymarine RADAR is its high-definition imaging capabilities. Utilizing both pulse compression and digital signal processing, these systems can distinguish between various targets, such as buoys, other vessels, and land obstacles. The improved resolution helps users to identify potential hazards and navigate more safely.

Raymarine offers a variety of RADAR models, including the Quantum and HD Series. The Quantum RADAR employs a revolutionary solid-state design that delivers exceptional performance while consuming less power. This is particularly beneficial for smaller vessels or those seeking to minimize energy consumption. The Quantum antenna features Doppler technology, which enhances motion detection and allows for real-time tracking of moving targets, providing critical information on their speed and direction.

Another key feature of Raymarine RADAR systems is their integration with other onboard navigation systems. With access to Raymarine’s LightHouse user interface, the RADAR seamlessly connects with chartplotters, autopilots, and other sensors. This complete network enhances situational awareness, as users can overlay RADAR data on navigational charts for a comprehensive view of their surroundings.
