Waypoint: A Waypoint is the saved location (latitude, longitude) of a point of interest that is stored in a GPS receiver’s memory. This can include a marker buoy, dock, fishing hole or anywhere else the user may want to return to. Humminbird® products offer the ability to name and assign a symbol to the saved location. Depth, Date and Time of Day when the waypoint was created is also saved.
Waypoint Target: Waypoint Target is a Humminbird® feature that displays a precise “bull’s eye” around a selected waypoint. This bull’s eye is used to easily monitor boat position relative to a waypoint, and is useful for fishing over submerged structure. With Waypoint Targets, a quick look at the screen lets you know how far off the waypoint the boat has drifted.
