The Mark Lat and Mark Long boxes in the Competitor Information
dialog allow you to manually set the position of the waypoint that dtoM

dialog; you therefore need to enter some positions, or hit File Data and
re-select the most recent file in the boats subdirectory.

called competitors and is turned on or off in the normal way by
selecting menu>layers>general when in the Navigation display (see
