WAYPOINTS, ROUTES

7.1 Entering Waypoints

In navigation terminology, a waypoint is a particular location on a voyage whether it be a starting, intermediate or destination point. A waypoint is the simplest piece of informa- tion the GP-1610CF requires to get you to a destination, in the shortest distance possible.

This unit has 200 waypoints into which you can enter position information. There are four methods by which you can enter a waypoint:

•By ship's position

•Through the waypoint list (manual input of latitude and longitude)

•By event position or MOB position

•By the cursor
