What is a waypoint?
A waypoint is a position marked on a chart, radar or fishfinder screen to
indicate a site (for fishing, diving etc), or as a position to go to. You can
place a waypoint at the cursor or your boat's position or at a specified
position. Waypoints are represented in chart or radar applications as an
'X' (default) and by a vertical line labeled WPT in Fishfinder. Active
waypoints are displayed on 3D Chart and CDI windows. The details of
each waypoint are stored in a waypoint list. Waypoints can be renamed,
edited, grouped, or erased, as necessary. To make full use of waypoint
features, ensure your display is receiving heading and position data. We
recommend that you regularly back-up your waypoints by archiving them
to a CompactFlash card. Waypoints can also be transferred to another
NMEA compatible instrument.
Networked systems
If you have networked two or more
E-Series Displays, the waypoints are
stored on the master display and
transferred to other displays via the
SeaTalk High Speed network.
