For the owners out there (with Raymarine electronics at least), it only took me 15 years to figure out that I can create a new user profile "Owner", and switch to it from the "Skipper" default profile, set up the display the way I like it, and as long as I remember to switch back to "Skipper" before leaving there is a good chance that my settings remain unmolested. I assume that includes waypoints and routes, but I don't use these in ordinary navigation in the BVI.
I personally am not at all happy to see waypoints and routes entered on my boat because of the concern that someone may have been making inappropriate use (which is pretty much any) of the "follow route" autopilot feature. I delete them with prejudice.
