RayChart 420/420D Chartplotter

 

 

All waypoints in the database are displayed on the screen, unless you set SHOW WAYPOINTS to OFF in the Chart Set Up menu, as described in Chapter 4. You can select a waypoint, either on-screen or from the list, for editing.

The waypoint is usually placed at the cursor position and can be part of a route; you can also place a waypoint at the vessel’s current position. You can place waypoints before you install the chartplotter on your vessel.

When you place a new waypoint, it is displayed using either the default symbol of a cross or an alternative symbol available from the Chart Set Up menu, as described in Chapter 4. The waypoint is added to the waypoint list and named with the next available number. You can use the edit functions to change the symbol and name. When the cursor is positioned over a waypoint, the waypoint bearing and range are displayed.

You can also transfer waypoints between the chartplotter and other NMEA connected instruments using the Waypoint Transfer functions.
