Introduction to Navigation
Use the Matrix Fishing System to establish waypoints at areas of interest and to navigate to those
waypoints via a saveable route (representing the shortest intended distance between waypoints). You
can also view and save tracks, which represent the actual path of the boat.
Waypoints, Routes and Tracks
Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest or navigation points. Your
Matrix Fishing System can store up to 750 waypoints.
Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation, and are used in trip planning.
You can link individual waypoints together by using the GOTO key. A route represents your intended
navigation and shows the shortest path from each waypoint to the next. As you travel a route, staying
on the route line is the most efficient way to get to your destination, although you should always look
out for obstacles not shown on the chart. Your Matrix Fishing System can store up to 10 routes that can
each contain up to 20 waypoints.
Tracks consist of detailed position history, and are displayed as a breadcrumb trail of trackpoints. The
Current Track shows the position history since the unit was powered up (maximum of 2000 trackpoints
displayed). You can clear the Current Track or save it at any time. Your Matrix Fishing System can store up
to 10 saved tracks, each containing 2000 trackpoints. The current track represents your actual path so far.
