6. Introduction of AutoRoute Concept
With Alan MAP600 you will be able to use the GPS as Navigator, so it is necessary to briefly introduce this concept and
its terminology in order to better understand this manual.
Alan MAP600 allows you to create two different kinds of Route:
1. Traditional Route
2. Auto Route
You can find below the main differences:
a)
Traditional Route
The Traditional Routes consist of at least two or more waypoints that specify a route to a destination. You can specify up
to 50 routes, each of them with up to 150 waypoints. This function drives you from the first to each of the following
waypoints of the route until you complete your journey, although the Navigator will calculate a straight virtual route, not
considering the roads reported on the cartography.
b)
Auto Route
Differently from the traditional routes, this function allows to calculate a route proceeding along the roads reported on the
cartography. An Auto Route can be calculated by entering a set of points where you are going to pass, or simply
indicating the arrival point, in order to let MAP600 driving you to the destination.
Alan MAP600 can store up to 20 routes, with up to 11 points (waypoints) each.
