Introduction to Navigation
Use your Fishing System to establish waypoints at areas of interest and navigate to those
waypoints via a 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.
Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation, and are used in trip
planning. 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
fishing system view.
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. You can clear the
Current Track or save it at any time. The current track represents your actual path so far.
