NorthStar 958 Manuel D’Utilisation

The term waypoint refers to a point (a location) that you’ve 
entered into the 958’s memory. The waypoint appears on the 
chart with the symbol you’ve chosen. In contrast, the term nav 
aid refers to a point that’s permanently stored on the 
Navionics chart cartridge.

Here are some of the functions you can perform with 
waypoints:

go to a point on the CHART screen in one step (making a 
“quick” waypoint)

store waypoints into the 958 

go to these waypoints

string these waypoints together to form routes

follow these routes

edit or erase waypoints or routes

plot waypoints or routes

transfer all waypoints (and routes) between any two 958’s

transfer waypoints (and routes) from the 958 to a PC, and 
back again

You can display waypoints in any of four ways:

A graphic (chart) view of waypoints

A list of up to 30 local waypoints, sorted by nearest first

A list of all waypoints, sorted alphabetically

A list of up to 30 local avoidance waypoints, sorted by 
nearest first

First, press the WAYPTS/ROUTES key, then the WAYPOINTS 
menu key. To view the LOCAL, ALPHA, and AVOID waypoint 
lists, press the NEXT VIEW menu key. The 958 displays the 
type of list at the top of the screen. Each press of the NEXT 
VIEW menu key cycles through the waypoint viewing list in
