you want to make a waypoint.
2. Press
WPT|WPT. The waypoint is saved and automatically given a
name with a sequential number, like "waypoint 001." The waypoint

Navigate To a Waypoint
You can select any waypoint visible on the Map Page with the cursor,

waypoint if you use the Find Waypoint commands:
1. Press
WPT| to SAVED|ENT. To look up the nearest waypoint, press
to
NEAREST|ENT; or, to look by name (and scroll through the entire
waypoint list), press
ENT. For this example, let's look by name.
2. If your waypoint list is a long one, you can spell out the waypoint name
in the
FIND BY NAME box to search for it. (Press or to change the first
character, then press to move the cursor to the next character and re-
peat until the name is correct, then press
ENT to jump to the list below.)
3. If the list is short, you can jump directly to the
FIND IN LIST box by press-
ing
ENT. Use or to select the waypoint name, press ENT and the way-
point information screen appears with the
GO TO command selected.
4. To begin navigating to the waypoint, press
ENT.

Set Man Overboard (MOB) Waypoint
One of boating's most terrifying events is having a friend or family
member fall overboard. This situation can be deadly on any body of wa-
ter. It's particularly dangerous at night or if you're out of sight of land.
