Offsets and/or pick points in OpenCPN

[redbull1931]

Hello.

New user here. I would like to shift where the waypoint is dropped. Rather dropping at the antenna, I would like to have it drop where we are dropping a camera frame off the stern. Basically I would like to tell the software "drop the waypoint X meters back and X meters to starboard or port". Has anyone done anything like this? It seems like a simple enough task, but I can't seem to find any info in the manual or on this forum.

Cheers!

Adjust the length and beam to match where you want the drop. Leave GPS offset at zero.

Drop the mark at the port/starboard quarter.
