Creating and Using Waypoints
You can store up to 1,500 waypoints with a user-dened name, symbol, depth, water temperature,
and comment for each waypoint.
To mark your current location as a waypoint:
From the Home screen, touch Mark. The waypoint information screen displays for a few
seconds.
Edit Waypoint—designate a specic name, symbol, water depth, water temperature, or make
a comment about the waypoint.
Delete—delete the waypoint.
Move—change the location of the waypoint, either by selecting a different location on the map
or by entering grid coordinates.
Man Overboard—designate the current location as a Man Overboard location.
Next Page/Previous Page—switch between waypoint information and the Navigation chart.
Back—save the waypoint and returns to the Navigation chart.
NOTE: Touching Mark creates a waypoint only at your present location.
To create a new waypoint:
1. From the Home screen, touch Charts > Navigation Chart.
2. Touch the location you want to designate as a waypoint. A cursor marks the waypoint.
3. Touch Create Waypoint.
To mark a Man Overboard (MOB) location:
When you mark a waypoint, you can designate it as an MOB (Man OverBoard). This marks the
point and sets a course back to the marked location. When an MOB is active, an MOB waypoint
with an international MOB symbol is created and the chartplotter begins active navigation to that
point.
1. From the Home screen, touch Man Overboard.
2. Touch Yes to begin navigating to the MOB location.
