Waypoints
A waypoint is simply an electronic "address," based on the latitude and
longitude of a position on the earth. A waypoint represents a location,
spot, or destination that can be stored in memory, then be recalled and
used later on for navigation purposes.
Create a Waypoint
You can create a waypoint at the cursor position on the plotter, or at
your current position while you are navigating. You can create a way-
point at any location by manually entering the position's latitude and
longitude.
NOTE:
To create and save a Waypoint, these first two techniques use the
Quick Save method, the fastest and easiest way to create a waypoint.
Create Waypoint at Current Position
While you are traveling, press WPT | WPT . The waypoint is saved and
automatically given a name with a sequential number, such as "way-
point 003." The waypoint symbol and number appear on the plotter.
