7. NAVIGATION
7.1 Navigating to “Quick
Points”
The “quick point” feature allows you to
navigate to point(s) without retaining the data
indefinitely in your unit’s memory. Each time
a quick point is entered previous quick points
have the same numbers as newly entered
ones are written over.

quick point: 1 POINT, 35 POINT (up to 35
points) or WPT/PORT SERV. (For

line show the direction to follow the route.
Quick points are numbered in sequential
order from QP<01> and are saved to the
waypoint list. Range and bearing from own
ship to the first destination appear at the top
of screen. The unit saves the points as a
route, under the name “Q<RTE” (Quick
Route).
