You know the feeling. You’ve found the ultimate fishing spot but when you try to come back, it’s vanished off the face of the earth. Luckily, most late model Rayglass vessels have a Simrad fishfinder on board so you’ll never have to experience that frustration again.
Just remember to set a waypoint and you’ll be able find that same spot next time – easy as. There are also several other functions on your Simrad unit that’ll help you find your way without getting lost, and they’re easy to use once you know about them.
HOW THE CHART FUNCTION ON YOUR SIMRAD UNIT WORKS
These features allow you to constantly monitor your position in relation to the surrounding environment so that you can always navigate safely and effectively.
While we’re not as clued in as Chris at Simrad (who puts these guides together for us), we know a thing or two about setting waypoints on the Simrad MFDs. If you’re struggling to set yours up or want to get more out of your Simrad unit, give the Rayglass team a call today or drop in to our Mt Wellington showroom.
CREATING WAYPOINTS
Waypoints are a great way to save a certain location in your Simrad MFD so that you can always find it in future – whether it’s a fishing spot, a secret beach or the marina.
A waypoint is saved at the vessel’s position if the cursor is not active on the panel by pressing the rotary knob, the mark key or the enter key, then save.
A waypoint is saved at the cursor position if active by pressing the rotary knob, the mark key or the enter key then save.
Press the Pages/Home button to open the home page then tap on waypoints from the tools column, then under the waypoints tap on new from the bottom left then save.
You can edit all information about a waypoint from the Edit Waypoint dialog box.
You can use the different colours to indicate hot or cold fishing spots, or you can mark spots with red that have produced great results.Our systems are smart and record times and dates for you.
