Creating a Route
The last way to navigate to a destination is to create a user-defined
route. The Garmin GPSMAP 176/176C lets you create and store up
to 50 reversible routes with up to 50 waypoints each. Routes can be
created in two ways. The first is by selecting waypoints or map items
from the Map page, allowing you to see each route point graphically
on-screen as you create the route. The second is to select waypoints
from the Find menu, allowing you to see a list of the route points as
you create the route. Access the Main Menu to start creating a route.
Route Tab and Route Options Menu
To create a route graphically:
1. Press MENU twice to display the Main Menu page. Use the
ROCKER to highlight the Route tab.
2. Press MENU to display the Route Options page. Select New
Route and press ENTER .
Or
Highlight the first blank slot in the Route List page and press
ENTER .
3. To add an existing waypoint or map item to the route, use the
ROCKER to highlight the desired item on the map and press
ENTER . Map items added to your route do not appear in the
waypoint list. See page 13 to create a waypoint from a map
feature.
INS appears below the pointer as you add points.
