    Another Mega360 question for Wayne and others

    I was on the water today continuing to learn how to use my M360. I turned on the NAVIGATION in 360 which I had not previously done. Everything worked as it was supposed to. Whenever I used SpotLock I would see blue text like SL125 moving around the screen. I realized pretty quickly that this must be my current SpotLock position displayed on the M360, pretty cool.

    I was actually scouting spawning areas and I have a SMARTSTRIKE mapping chip in the Helix. Upon entering a small cove suddently I see the same blue text spelling out SPAWNING or SPAWNING AREA??? I was using the SMARTSTRIKE chip strictly for mapping and had not entered any sort of Search request. I was too dumbfounded to take a Screenshot or even a camera picture of the screen.

    Wayne or anybody:
    How would the Helix/Mega360 know to display such a message?
    Can I anticipate different messages like this in the future??

    360 will display any waypoints you have in your network with their name on the screen in there location. just another cool feature.

    Thanks guys.
    I'll check both the map and my waypoints to if it appears there. I suspect its a previous WayPoint.
