User Manual

Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest or

navigation points.

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 by using

the GOTO key or the Go To menu option (see Navigation X-Press™ Menu).

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, although you should always

look out for obstacles not shown on the track. A Route Leg is the path between

each waypoint in a route. In color models, the color of each route leg is

displayed as follows:

• Completed Route Leg = Gray

• Current Route Leg = Green

• Future Route Leg = Gold

Tracks consist of a 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. The

current track represents your actual path so far.

NOTE: The maximum number of waypoints, routes, and tracks may vary due

to your Humminbird® control head model. See your control head operations

manual for details.
