Thank you for choosing Humminbird®, America's #1 name in fishfinders. Humminbird has built its reputation by designing and manufacturing top-quality, thoroughly reliable marine equipment. Your Humminbird is designed for trouble-free use in even the harshest marine environment. In the unlikely event that your Humminbird does require repairs, we offer an exclusive Service Policy - free of charge during the first year after purchase, and available at a reasonable rate after the one-year period. [. . . ] This includes the position of the station, the date used for determining the current information, and the current changes. Two graphs are also presented that show the time, direction and flow speed of the current changes for the 24 hour time period emcompassing the date. You can change the date to look at current information before or after the date displayed by pressing the LEFT or RIGHT cursor key respectively. Press the EXIT key to remove the information box and the cursor bull's eye will be centered over the current station position. The cursor information boxes at the bottom of the display will indicate the distance and bearing to the current station from your present position. To display information about any of chart object icons, use the 4-Way Cursor key to place the bullseye over the icon, then press the INFO key. Use the UP and DOWN Cursor keys to scroll through the information displayed for the object. Pressing the EXIT key removes the cursor from the screen. Waypoints, Routes and Tracks Waypoint Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest or navigation points. Your Matrix can store up to 750 waypoints. Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation, and are used in trip Route Track planning. You can link individual waypoints together via menus or select them on-screen to create a route. A route represents your intended navigation and shows the shortest path from each Waypoints, Routes and Tracks waypoint to the next. As you travel a route, staying on the route line is the most efficient way to get to your destination. Your Matrix can store up to 20 routes that can each contain up to 20 waypoints. Tracks consist of detailed position history, and are displayed as a breadcrumb trail of trackpoints. The Current Track shows the position history since the unit was powered up. Your Matrix can store up to 10 saved tracks, each containing 700 trackpoints. The current track represents your actual path so far. Save, Edit, or Delete a Waypoint Save your current position as a waypoint: On any view, press the MARK key to save the current position of the boat as a waypoint. Exit Button Save the cursor position as a waypoint: On the Combo or Track view, use the Cursor key to designate the position you want to save as a waypoint. Save a position from the sonar history: On the Sonar view, use the Cursor key to point to a feature in the sonar history (also called the Sonar Saver feature). Press the MARK key to create a waypoint at the location where that sonar reading was taken. The new waypoint will also record the depth at that location. NOTE: When you save a waypoint by any of these methods, a numerical waypoint name is automatically assigned. You can edit the waypoint information later to give it a different name and select an icon to represent it (see Edit a Waypoint). 16 17 M5565_ManE_531192-1_A. qxd 5/4/2003 9:39 PM Page 22 Display the Waypoints Submenu: From any view, press the MENU key twice to display the Main Menu System, then use the RIGHT Cursor key to select the Navigation tab.
