Routes
You can create and store up to 50 user-defined reversible routes
(numbered 1-50), with up to 254 waypoints each. Routes are
created and modified in two ways. The first method creates the
route using a map page. This method selects points on the map.
The second method enters the waypoint names as text on the Route
Review Page. This method lists the waypoints as you create the
route. All of the route functions are accessed through the Main
Menu or the NAV key.
Route Tab
To create a route using the Route Edit Map Page:
1. Press MENU twice to display the Main Menu.
2. Use the ROCKER to highlight the Route tab, and press
MENU to display the route options page, or highlight the
first available blank route slot, and press ENTER . (Go to
step 4 if you use this method.)
3. Select New Route , and press ENTER .
4. To add an existing waypoint or map item to the route, use
the map pointer to select a waypoint or map item, and press
ENTER . Map items do not appear in the waypoint list. To
create a waypoint from a map item, see page 21 .
5. To add a new waypoint to the route, use the map pointer
to select a map location, and press ENTER . Press ENTER
again to confirm the new waypoint. You can also change the
name and symbol of the new waypoint (see page 8 ).
As you add each new waypoint to the route, the data
window at the top of the map display shows the waypoint/
map item name, bearing and distance from your location,
and coordinates of the pointer. The bottom of the display
shows the number of available and used points. A route line
appears on the map to indicate each completed leg, and a
dotted line appears indicating the distance and bearing to
the arrow pointer from the last route waypoint.
