4-14. POINTS4.1 About PointsIn navigation terminology, a point is any location you put on the plotter display. A point can be a fishing spot, reference point and other important locations. You can use a point you have entered to set a destination.This unit has 30,000 points into which you can enter position information.When you enter a point, the point is put on the screen with the point symbol selected as the default point symbol.
