This makes it easier to find and use an object such as a stump for a future fishing location. When using this feature, the Sonar Page pauses. The map pointer does not move off the paused screen and cannot show an area that has scrolled off the screen. The depth is updated while the screen is paused, but the unit does not show any new sonar data until the standard Sonar Page is resumed. You can see a discontinuity from where the sonar information stops to where it starts again. Data window Map pointer To mark an underwater waypoint: 1.
