5. WAYPOINTS, ROUTES
In navigation terminology, a particular location is known as a “waypoint,” whether it be a
starting point, a destination point or an intermediate point on a voyage.
5.1 Turning Waypoints On/Off
You may choose to turn all waypoints on or off, and the default setting is ON. Note however
that when a route is displayed its waypoints are shown regardless of whether waypoints are
turned on or off.
1. Press the [MENU] key.
2. Press the [1] key twice to display the Video Plot/AIS menu.
3. Press the [9] key twice to choose Coastline/Mark Disp menu.
4. Press the [2] key to choose On.
5. Press the [ENTER/SELECT] key followed by the [MENU] key.
5.2 Entering Waypoints
Waypoints may be entered on the video plotter, combination display, by the cursor, at own
ship’s position, through the waypoint list. You can store 98 waypoints, numbered 01-98.
Waypoints 00 and 99 are special waypoints. Waypoint 00 marks own ship’s position when
destination is selected and waypoint 99 is for waypoint entered at the navigator (GPS, etc.)
