Just wondering if you've tried using the tracking feature because on page 87 of my manual it says:  "The HX870 allows you to set 1-15 waypoints along a route"

I haven't tried setting up a route, but it seems to me that Standard Horizon is saying we're limited to 15 waypoints along any single route.  Maybe I'll try it and see.
The fish bite twice a day - just before we get here and right after we leave.

"If it tells you what direction to go, that's pretty cool."

Lee, When I set a course using my HX870 to return to a waypoint, the radio shows me distance to point and direction continuously as I head for it. Testing this  with a highly identifiable location (launch site) the radio says I've "arrived" when I'm within a couple hundred yards of the point. I am assuming this means it isn't an extremely precise GPS unit. However, it has been nice, being 5 miles off shore with strong tide current and wind and know that even if I couldn't see marks I could get back close to my starting point. If someone knows how to make better use of this, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!
