3. WAYPOINTS (MARKS)
3.1 Entering Waypoints
In navigation terminology a waypoint is a
particular location on a voyage, whether it be
a starting, intermediate or destination
waypoint. Your unit can store 999 waypoints.
Waypoints can be entered on the plotter
display three ways: at cursor position, at own
ship’s position, and from the waypoint list.
Entering a waypoint with the cursor
1. Use the cursor pad to place the cursor on
the location desired for a waypoint.
2. Press the [ENT] key. The following
window appears.

3. The cursor is on the second line of the
display. This is where you may enter
waypoint name, which may consist of six
alphanumeric characters. The number
shown is the youngest empty waypoint
number. If you would rather have the unit
register the waypoint under that number,
and you do not need to change mark
shape or enter a comment, press the
[ENT] key twice to register the waypoint
and finish. To enter KOBE as the
waypoint name, for example, do the
following:
a) Press ▲ or ▼ to display K.

and then press ▲ or ▼ to display O.
