3. WAYPOINTS (MARKS)

3.1 Entering Waypoints

In navigation terminology a waypoint is a particular location on a voyage, whether it be a starting, intermediate or destination waypoint. Your unit can store 999 waypoints. Waypoints can be entered on the plotter display three ways: at cursor position, at own ship’s position, and from the waypoint list.

Entering a waypoint with the cursor

2.Press the [ENT] key. The following window appears.

3.The cursor is on the second line of the display. This is where you may enter waypoint name, which may consist of six alphanumeric characters. The number shown is the youngest empty waypoint number.

To enter KOBE as the waypoint name, for example, do the following:
