Creating routes from a waypoints list
To create a route from a list of existing waypoints:
1. Press the
WAYPTS/ROUTES
key, then press the
ROUTES
menu key.
2. At the
ROUTES
screen, press the
NEW
menu key to dis-
play the
NEW ROUTE
screen.
3. Enter the name of the route using the
KEYPAD
and
CUR-
SOR PAD
.
4. If the
USE LIST
menu key is displayed, press it to change
from chart-based editing to list-based editing.
5. Press the
ENTER
key.
6. At the
NEW ROUTE
screen, press the
INSERT
menu key.
The
SELECT WAYPT
screen appears, which lists all of your
stored waypoints. If you want to switch between the
LOCAL
and
ALPHA
lists, press the
NEXT VIEW
key.
7. Move the cursor to select the desired waypoint, then press
the
ENTER
key to place the waypoint in your route.
8. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 until your new route is complete. To
see the route on the
CHART
screen at any time, press the
CHART
menu key; once there, to return to the
NEW
ROUTE
screen, press the
RETURN
menu key.
Saving a route as you travel
Another way to create a route is to travel the length of the
desired route, pressing the
SAVE
key at each waypoint you
want to store in the route. The 958's save-route function
makes this a very simple process: First, you tell the 958 that
you want to save a route as you travel, then you press the
SAVE
key as you pass each waypoint, then you tell the 958 to
stop saving the route when you reach the end of the route.
