Chapter 3: Working with Waypoints
This chapter gives details of how to place, edit, manage and navigate to a waypoint
using the dedicated WPTS/MOB button.
3.1 What is a waypoint?
A waypoint is a position marked on a chart, radar or fishfinder window to indicate a
site (for fishing, diving etc.) or as a place to navigate to. By default, all waypoints are
indicated on screen by a waypoint symbol -
x. This symbol can however be changed if
you wish.
Waypoints are a core feature of the E-series display. They can be created in any
application and are displayed on the radar, chart and fishfinder windows. A series of
waypoints can be combined together to form a route. If you have networked several E-
Series Displays, any waypoints that are created on one display are ‘seen’ by all the
other displays.
The details of all waypoints, irrespective of the application they were created in, are
stored in a dedicated waypoint list which will hold up to 1200 waypoints. All waypoints
are by default, placed in the MY WAYPOINTS group. If required, you can create new
groups and change the default group if required. If necessary, waypoints can be
archived to a CompactFlash card or transferred to another NMEA compatible
instrument. If the system receives an active waypoint over SeaTalk or NMEA, it is
displayed but cannot be edited.
Note:
You can only archive and transfer waypoints to a CompactFlash card/NMEA link
installed at the display on which you are working.
