Routes
The last way to navigate to a destination is to create a user-defi ned route. The GARMIN GPSMAP
182/232 system lets you create and store up to 50 reversible routes (numbered 1-50), with up to 50
waypoints each. Routes can be created and modifi ed in two ways. The fi rst way to the ‘Edit on Map’
from the Route Edit map page, allowing you to see each route graphically on-screen as you create,
review, or modify the route. The second way is to ‘Edit as Text’ from the Route Review page, allowing
you to see a list of the waypoints as you create, review, or modify the route. All of the GPSMAP
182/232’s route functions are accessed through the Main Menu page or the
NAV
key.
To create a route graphically from the Route Edit map page:
1. Press the
MENU
key twice to display the Main Menu page.
2. Use the
ARROW KEYPAD
to highlight the ‘Route’ tab and press the
MENU
key to display
the route options page or you may also highlight the fi rst available blank route slot and press
ENTER/MARK
. (Skip to step 4 if you use this method.)
3. Select the ‘New Route’ option and press
ENTER/MARK
.
4. To add an existing waypoint or map item to the route, use the map cursor to highlight the desired
waypoint or map item on screen and press
ENTER/MARK
. Map items will not appear in the
waypoint list. To create a waypoint from a map item, see page 31.
5. To add a new waypoint to the route, use the map cursor to select the desired map position and
press
ENTER/MARK
. Press
ENTER/MARK
again to confi rm the new waypoint. You may also
change the name and symbol of the new waypoint (see page 32).
As you add each new waypoint to the route, the data window at the top of the map display will
show the waypoint/map item name, bearing and distance from your location, and coordinates of the
cursor. The bottom of the display will show you the number of available and used points. A route line
will appear on the map to indicate each completed leg, and a dotted line will appear to indicate the
distance and bearing to the arrow cursor from the last route waypoint.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have fi nished defi ning all route waypoints.
7. When fi nished press
QUIT
twice to return to the Route List page or press
MENU
, highlight ‘Edit as
Text’ and press
ENTER/MARK
to return to the Route Review page.
Route Tab and Route
Options Menu
