Users can enter up to 1,000 waypoints and 100 routes to accommodate an entire season’s fishing or cruising program, while 42 separate graphic marker icons allow users to record locations of specific interest for future reference. 40 zoom ranges enable the navigator to view an area at almost any scale; from an entire continent to the detail of a tricky river entrance or restricted anchorage.
