recording option.

Boundaries

Boundaries allow you to avoid or remain in designated areas in

a body of water. You can set an alarm to alert you when you

enter or exit a boundary.

You can create boundary areas, lines, and circles using the

map. You can also convert saved tracks and routes into

boundary lines. You can create a boundary area using

waypoints by creating a route from the waypoints, and

converting the route into a boundary line.

can add the active boundary data to the data fields on the chart.
