Using Waypoints

The MARKS Functionbar button lets you to place up to 998 waypoints. A waypoint is a position, normally entered on a chart as a reference, or as a place to go to. A waypoint can be placed at the cursor position or at the vessel’s current position (this is sometimes known as an event mark); all waypoints placed on the Fishfinder are stored in a waypoint database list with position, depth and temperature when it was placed.

Waypoints placed on the Fishfinder are displayed as a solid vertical line on the scrolling bottom, Zoom, and Bottom Lock displays. The waypoint number is shown at the top of the vertical line. The waypoint scrolls to the left with the scrolling bottom display.

If you place a waypoint at the cursor position in Fishfinder mode, and a chart window is open, the waypoint is displayed on the chart. You can GOTO, EDIT, and ERASE a cursor waypoint.
