4. POINTS, EVENT MARKS
4.1 About Points, Event Marks
In navigation terminology, a point is any location you mark on the plotter or radar dis-
play. A point can be a fishing spot, reference point and other important locations. You
can use a point you have entered to set as a destination.
This unit has 30,000 points (including event marks) into which you can enter position
information.
When you enter a point, on the plotter or ra-
dar display, the point is put on the screen with
the point symbol selected as the default point
symbol. The position of the point, symbol and
color information are saved to the points list. You can show or hide the points, and the
default setting shows all points.
An event mark is used to mark current position on the plotter,
radar and sounder displays. When you enter an event mark,
it is entered on all of the above-mentioned displays, with the
event mark icon selected. The default event marks are
shown in the right figure. You can change them with the “de-
fault event symbol” items in the [Points] menu.
You can edit points and event marks on the screen from the points list.
Note 1: Event marks are handled the same as points.
Note 2: Points can be shared with other NavNet TZtouch2 units via LAN. Data is
shared automatically; no operation is required.
