Saving a route as you travel

want to repeat later, you can save
waypoints into a route as you travel by
pressing the
SAVE/MOB
key every time
you pass a point you want to store in the
route.
The save-route function makes this a very
simple process: First, you tell the

that you want to save a route as you travel,
then you press
SAVE/MOB
as you pass
each new waypoint, then you tell it to stop
saving the route when you reach the end
of the route.
