7. CREATING MARKS
A User Point is an object that you can place on the charts to mark a specific point. The CP590
features two types of User Points: Marks and Waypoints.
· Mark can be a stand alone position or be linked to a Route. A Mark is place on the Chart
page using the [MARK] key or by entering in information in the Marks/Waypoints List
page and selecting
NEW MARK.
· Waypoints are always liked to a Route. They are placed on the Chart page using the
[ROUTE] key.
NOTE
The difference betwen a Mark and a Waypoint is
a. when a Route is created using Waypoints and the Route is deleted the Waypoints are also
deleted.
b. if a Route is created using Marks and the Route is deleted the Marks remain.
