Helix 5 - Can I manually enter waypoints? How?
« on: Feb 10, 2022, 09:26 AM »
I've found several videos on how to manually create a waypoint with lat/long on several other Humminbird units, but none for Helix units.  Can a waypoint be manually entered from say, my house, using latitude/longitude coordinates before I go out and fish the spot?  Or is the only way to do this is to cursor to the exact spot on the chart and then mark that spot?

On my 7, I can find the water I want, zoom in and set a waypoint. It' a pain to zoom in and out to find the body of water this way but it works.

I am aware that I can do that, and I have before, but I want to punch in exact coordinates.

Possibly create a waypoint and then edit it to the position you want? I know there's a way to do it as I have done it.
