Create and Save a Route
You have the option of creating and editing a route in the unit, or you
can make a route on your computer with our MapCreate 6 software.
PC-created Routes
MapCreate is the easiest method for preparing a route, simply because
your PC's larger screen, keyboard and mouse are easier to manipulate
than the gimbal-mounted unit.
To load a MapCreate route into the unit, follow the instructions in
MapCreate's manual for creating and saving a route as part of a GPS
Data File (file format *.usr). Copy the GPS Data File to an MMC and
insert the MMC in the unit. (See Sec. 2 for instructions on installing
MMCs. To load the GPS Data File into the Unit memory, see the entry
on
Transfer Custom Maps & GPS Data Files in Sec. 6, Basic GPS
Operations .
Routes Created in the Unit
You can create a route by selecting saved waypoints from the waypoint
list or you can set a series of route waypoints on the map with cursor
arrows and the Enter key. In this example, we'll create a route from the
map.
