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. 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 chart. Your 1100 Series™ can store up to 50 routes that can each contain up
to 50 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 (maximum of 20,000 trackpoints
displayed). You can clear the Current Track or save it at any time. Your 1100 Series™ can store up to 50
saved tracks, each containing 20,000 trackpoints. The current track represents your actual path so far.
Save, Edit, or Delete a Waypoint
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.
Save the cursor position as a waypoint: On the Chart or Combo view, use the Cursor key to designate the
position you want to save as a waypoint. Then press the MARK key to save the marked position as a waypoint.
Save a position from the sonar history: Use the Cursor key to point to a feature in the sonar history (also
called the Sonar Saver feature). Press the 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 Waypoint submenu on the Navigation Main Menu Tab).
Display the Waypoints Submenu: From any view, press the MENU key twice to display the Main Menu
System, then use the RIGHT Cursor key to select the Navigation tab. Select Waypoints and press the RIGHT
Cursor key to display the Waypoints submenu.
Program a specific position as a waypoint: To create a waypoint that is NOT your current position, from
the Waypoints submenu, select the Create option and press the RIGHT Cursor key. Use the Cursor keys to
program a waypoint name, latitude, longitude, and icon before selecting Save.
Edit a waypoint: From the Waypoints submenu, select Edit and press the RIGHT Cursor key to display a
list of saved waypoints. Select the waypoint you want to edit and press the RIGHT Cursor key. Use the 4-
WAY Cursor Control key to move from field to field, and the UP and DOWN Cursor keys to changes values
once you are in a field. In the Waypoint Name, Latitude and Longitude fields, use the UP and DOWN
Cursor keys to change the letter or number. All upper and lower case letters are available, as well as digits
0-9 and some punctuation characters. In the Waypoint Icon field, use the UP and DOWN Cursor keys to
change the icon used to represent the waypoint on the Combo and Chart Views. You can exit these fields
with the LEFT and RIGHT Cursor keys or by pressing the EXIT key. Select Save and press the RIGHT Cursor
key to save your changes.
