Waypoint
The Waypoint Bank (WPT) is a list of waypoints that you created using various methods.
The most common method is by manually entering Lat/Long coordinates. Another
convenient method is by using the Mark function key to saved your present position.
Waypoints can also be downloaded from external waypoint data devices, such as plotters
or ECDIS.
While entering waypoints in the list is rather straight forward, the MX51x provides helpful
waypoint management tools that should be mentioned before giving examples.
Below are six methods of managing the waypoint bank:
Sort By Number
• - displays the waypoints in waypoint numerical order, starting with
waypoint 0.
Waypoint “0” is a computer waypoint. The MX51x automatically loads the present
position in this waypoint when a new destination is selected to go to.
Sort By Name
• - displays the waypoints by name in alphabetical order.
Sort By Type
• - displays the waypoints by symbols, numbers, then names.
Sort By Distance
• - displays the waypoints which are closest to your present location
first.
Sort By Age
• - displays the waypoints entered most recently, first.
Search For WPT
• - allows you to type a symbol or name and the screen displays all
waypoints having the exact match of the name you type. If you are unsure of the
complete name, type a few of the characters you know are in the name, and the
software will display all waypoints having the corresponding characters.
For example, if you are looking for the LA HARBOR ENTRANCE and you enter HAR, the
screen will display all waypoints with these three characters in this exact order.
Creating and Editing Waypoints
When editing a waypoint, you are always prompted to select the appropriate datum. You
might occasionally see a prompt warning you that the waypoint is used either in a stored
route or the active route. You ultimately have the final decision whether to continue editing
the waypoint, or exiting this waypoint by pressing the EDIT key again to exit the edit
mode.
Creating and editing waypoints is easy.

1 WPT key to display the WPT1 screen.
