Create Waypoint on Map
1.Use the arrow keys to move the cursor crosshairs to the place where you want to make a waypoint.
2.Press WPTWPT. The waypoint is saved and automatically given a name with a sequential number, like "waypoint 001." The waypoint symbol and number appear on the map.
Navigate To a Waypoint
You can select any waypoint visible on the Map Page with the cursor, then use the Navigate to Cursor command (we'll describe how later in this section.) However, you can avoid scrolling the map to pick your waypoint if you use the Find Waypoint commands:
1.Press WPT→ to SAVEDENT. To look up the nearest waypoint, press ↓ to NEARESTENT; or, to look by name (and scroll through the entire waypoint list), press ENT. For this example, let's look by name.
2.If your waypoint list is a long one, you can spell out the waypoint name in the FIND BY NAME box to search for it. (Press ↑ or ↓ to change the first character, then press → to move the cursor to the next character and re- peat until the name is correct, then press ENT to jump to the list below.)
3.If the list is short, you can jump directly to the FIND IN LIST box by press- ing ENT. Use ↑ or ↓ to select the waypoint name, press ENT and the way- point information screen appears with the GO TO command selected.
4.To begin navigating to the waypoint, press ENT.

Set Man Overboard (MOB) Waypoint
One of boating's most terrifying events is having a friend or family member fall overboard. This situation can be deadly on any body of wa- ter. It's particularly dangerous at night or if you're out of sight of land.
