5.1 Waypoints
A waypoint is a position marked on a chart, radar or fishfinder window to indicate a site (for fishing, diving etc.) or as a place to navigate to. By default, all waypoints are indicated on screen by a waypoint symbol (x). This symbol can be changed if required. You can also select an alternative symbol to be used as the default for newly created waypoints.
Waypoints are a core feature of your multifunction display. They can be created in any application and are displayed on the radar, chart and fishfinder windows. A series of waypoints can be combined together to form a route. The details of all waypoints, irrespective of the application they were created in, are stored in a dedicated waypoint list which will hold up to 3000 waypoints. All waypoints are, by default, placed in the MY WAYPOINTS group. If required, you can create new groups and change the default group. If necessary, waypoints can be archived to a CompactFlash card or transferred
to another NMEA compatible instrument. If the system receives an active waypoint over SeaTalk or NMEA, it is displayed but cannot be edited. If required, you can prevent access to, modification and sight of your waypoint and route databases and functions by means of a password.
