Introduction to Navigation
Use your 300 Series™ Fishfinder to mark waypoints at areas of interest and to navigate to those waypoints via a savable route. A route represents the shortest intended distance between waypoints. You can a lso v iew and save tr acks, which represent the actual path of the boat.
Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks
Waypoints are stored pos itions (lat itude, lo ngitude) t hat allo w you to mar k areas of interest or navigation points (i.e. a marker buoy, dock, or fishing hole). Your Fishfinder can store up to 3000 waypoints.
Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation and are used in trip planning. You can linkindividual 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 ge t to your dest ination, although you shoul d always l ook out for obstac les not show n on the chart. Your 300 Se ries™ Fishfinder can store up to 50 routes that can each contain up to 50 waypoints.
Tracks consist of detailed posit ion 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 20,000 trackpoints displayed). You can clear the Current Track or save it at any time. Your 300 Series™ Fishfinder can store up to 5 0 s aved tr acks, each containing 2 0,000 trackpoints. The curr ent tr ack represents your actual path so far.
