Routes
The last way to navigate to a destination is to create a user-defi ned route. The GARMIN GPSMAP
2006/2010 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 is from 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 2006/2010’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 to display the Main Menu page.
2. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘Route’ tab and press the ‘New Route’ SOFT KEY or you may
also highlight the fi rst available blank route slot and press ENTER/MARK .
3. To add an existing waypoint or map item to the route, use the arrow 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 26.
4. To add a new waypoint to the route, use the arrow 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 27).
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 fi rst point, and coordinates of the cursor. After
additional points are added, the bearing and distance will calculate from the location of the previous route
point. 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 (yellow on color models) will appear
to indicate the distance and bearing to the arrow cursor from the last route waypoint.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have fi nished defi ning all route waypoints.
6. When fi nished press QUIT twice to return to the Route List page or press the ‘Edit as Text’ SOFT KEY
to return to the Route Review page.
