SAVE key. The vessel’s location will be saved as a waypoint, and the waypoint will automatically be added to the route being saved. The waypoint is stored with a name similar to (0001) . The parentheses indicate that the waypoint is part of a saved route, and the four-digit number uniquely identifies each waypoint. Each waypoint is automatically given a description with the time and date you stored the waypoint.
