11. Introduction The RayChart 420 enables you to place up to 500 waypoints A waypoint is a position entered on a chart as a reference or destination point All waypoints placed on the chartplotter are stored in a waypoint database list which includes symbol position bearing range date and time RayChart 420 420D Chartplotter All waypoints in the database are displayed on the screen unless you set SHOW WAYPOINTS to OFF in the Chart Set Up menu as described in Chapter 4 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 You can place waypoints before you install the chartplotter on your vessel When you place a new waypoint it is displayed using either the default symbol of across or an alternative symbol available from the Chart Set Up menu as described in Chapter 4 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 You can also transfer waypoints between the chartplotter and other NMEA connected 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 e S
