Marking a route to accept SAVE keypresses
You can mark any one stored route to “accept”
SAVE
keypresses. When you mark a route in this way, each time you
press the
SAVE
key ,
*SAVEDXX*
waypoints are added to the
route.
To activate a route to accept
SAVE
keypresses:
1. At the
ROUTES
screen, press the
CURSOR PAD
up or
down to highlight the desired route, then press the
EDIT
key.
2. At the
EDIT THE ROUTE
dialog box, press the
START
SAVING ROUTE
key.
You don’t have to display a route on the
CHART
screen to save
waypoints in it. Conversely, displaying a route on the
CHART
screen doesn’t mean that you’re saving waypoints into it. The
two functions work independently. If desired, however, you
can display a route
and have it marked to accept
SAVE
keypresses:
1. At the
ROUTES
screen, press the
CURSOR PAD
up or
down to select the desired route, then press the
ON
CHART
key.
2. Press the
EDIT
key, then press the
START SAVING
ROUTE
key.
The route is now displayed on the CHART screen and will
also accept SAVE keypresses.
Sorting the list of routes
You can sort the routes list by the following:
• whether a route is marked for display on the
CHART
screen
• whether a route is marked to accept
SAVE
keypresses
• name
• date the route was last modified
• total distance covered by each route (length)
• distance to your present position (proximity).
