Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to
mark areas of interest or navigation points. Your
Matrix 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 via menus or select them on-screen to
create a route. 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. Your Matrix can
store up to 20 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. You can clear the Current Track or save it at any time. Your Matrix can
store up to 10 saved tracks, each containing 700 trackpoints. The current track
represents your actual path so far.

Save your current position as a waypoint: On any view, press the MARK key to save
the current position of the boat as a waypoint.

MARK key to create a waypoint at the location where that sonar reading was taken.
The new waypoint will also record the depth at that location.
NOTE: When you save a waypoint by any of these methods, a numerical waypoint name
is automatically assigned. You can edit the waypoint information later to give it a
different name and select an icon to represent it (see Edit a Waypoint).
