And draw a line in and that's your line of latitude.

In order to read a chart, you interpret longitude and latitude lines to determine your coordinates, which is your position. You have to understand and interpret different symbols like depth, scale, and navigation marks. Using these symbols, you find a safe course and plot it on the chart.

A waypoint is a location along a route, including the beginning (origin) and end (destination) locations for a route, and the origins and destinations for a route matrix. You have several options on how to specify the location for waypoints, as described in Specify locations.

A waypoint is a position on a chart that you want to make note of. Besides for marking a position, waypoints can be used to navigate to their position.

The first step is to look at the chart, decide on the route, then using a pencil and ruler mark the route from buoy to buoy or chosen position. Each change of course is called a waypoint and its position is marked using a cross with a square around it (the symbol for a waypoint).

How to plot a course on a chart: Draw a line from point A to B - using parallel rules, from starting mark to next mark. Check the line for safety - if not, move end mark until you get a safe leg. Measure and mark the heading - transfer the leg to compass. Measure and mark the distance - measure the legs.
