Waypoints
A waypoint is the latitude and longitude of a specic position on the earth's surface.
You can quickly create a waypoint at your current position or you can create a way-
point at the cursor's position on the Chart page. You also can create a waypoint at
any location by manually entering the position's latitude and longitude.
Waypoints are important because they can be saved in the unit and later used to nd
your way back to a specic location, such as a favorite shing spot or an important
geographical feature. To quickly save a waypoint at the vessel's current position
press the WPT/FIND key.
