HSB Series Chartplotter

3.2 Working with Waypoints

Introduction

The HSB series Chartplotter enables you to place up to 998 waypoints: a

waypoint is a position entered on a chart as a reference, or as a place to

go to. All waypoints 

placed on the chartplotter

 are stored in a waypoint

database list which includes symbol, position, bearing, range and

additional data. All waypoints in the database are displayed on the

screen, unless you set waypoint display off in the Chart Set Up menu, as

described in Chapter 5. You can select a waypoint, either on-screen or

from the list, for editing.

The waypoint is usually placed at the cursor position and can be part of a

route; you can also place a waypoint at the vessel’s current position; a

waypoint at the vessel position includes additional information (if

available) on the depth and temperature when it was placed. You can

place waypoints before you install the chartplotter on your vessel.

Note: Radar marks may also be displayed on the screen if your

chartplotter is a combined radar/chartplotter or is part of an integrated

system; these are screen annotations - you cannot go to marks, nor

can they be included in routes.

When you place a new waypoint, it is displayed using the default symbol

of a cross. The waypoint is added to the waypoint list and named with the

next available number. You can use the edit functions to change the

symbol and name. When the cursor is positioned over a waypoint, the

waypoint bearing and range are displayed.

Waypoints in the current route are available on other SeaTalk

instruments that support currrent route transfer, for example, another

HSB series chartplotter or ST80 Masterview. You can also transfer

waypoints between the chartplotter and other NMEA or SeaTalk

instruments using the Waypoint Transfer functions.

This section explains how to perform the following tasks using the on-

screen cursor and the waypoint list:

• Placing a Waypoint

• Selecting a Waypoint

• Displaying Waypoint data

• Editing a Waypoint (symbol, name & position)

• Erasing a Waypoint

• Moving a Waypoint
