isolated point (to mark buoy, place...) or can be used as a part of a route (seaport, arrival...). A Waypoint can be shared by
multiple routes.

Create Waypoints
All waypoints can be used in planning route or active route. Waypoints can be shared between several routes at the same
time.
To create Waypoints :
1. Select the color and icon symbol of your Waypoints in the toolbar
2. Select the Waypoint Tool and click wherever you want on the chart to add separate waypoints
3. All waypoints are automatically saved in the database.
TIP - You can also add Waypoints by Lat/Long. Simply double-click on the Waypoint Tool to enter coordinates.
Waypoint can also be created :
1. Saved as event at the boat's position by single-clicking on MOB.
2. When activating the MOB function, double-click on MOB and a waypoint named "Man Over Board" will appear
on the chart.
