Waypoint
Mark or Event
This function key stores your present position, date and time at the
next available waypoint location in the Waypoint Bank. A window
pops up on the screen to confirm your key depression, and to tell you
where the Mark position is being stored. You can go into the WPT
menu and edit the coordinates or description later. This key function is
disabled for 2 seconds after each depression.
The cross-hair (
⊕
) symbol to the left of the date in the Waypoint Bank
indicates that the Mark or Event key created this waypoint. Note that
you can also select the cross-hair (
⊕
) symbol from the various sym-
bols for other waypoints when editing waypoints.
The CDU is also capable of performing this function from a remote
contact closure input via the Cable B “MOB/Event” wire. Refer to the
Installation &Service Manual
for interface instructions. Contact clo-
sure on the two input pins for less than 2 seconds causes a Mark
position to be generated. Contact closure on the two input pins for
longer than 2 seconds causes a Man Over Board condition to be gen-
erated.
Note:
The marker stores the position of the antenna loca-
tion. Keep this in mind if you are trying to pinpoint items
such as buoys, crab pots, etc. For some special appli-
cations such as these, you may need to locate the an-
tenna at the point on the boat or ship where you need to
make this exact measurement.
