Waypoints

A waypoint is the latitude and longitude of a specific position on the earth's surface. You can quickly create a waypoint at your current position or you can create a way- point at the cursor's position on the Chart page. You also can create a waypoint at any location by manually entering the position's latitude and longitude.

Waypoints are important because they can be saved in the unit and later used to find your way back to a specific location, such as a favorite fishing spot or an important geographical feature. To quickly save a waypoint at the vessel's current position press the WPT/Find key.
