SmartRoute
SmartRoute enables the current track, or the last segment of a track with
breaks, to be converted to a route (the track could have been retrieved from the
track list). SmartRoute places a waypoint at the last track point, then considers
each point in turn and determines the closest route through the recorded track.
The number of waypoints created is minimized, whilst maintaining optimum
correlation to the recorded track. On completion, the maximum deviation of
the route from the recorded track is displayed.
➤
To convert the current track into a route:
1. Select
MAKE INTO ROUTE
and press
ENTER
.
The current track is converted to a new route and becomes the current
route, with the most recently placed track point as the start of the route, i.e.
the track is reversed.
If there is an unsaved current route on screen, the option to save the route is
given, see
Section 3.4, Working with Routes .
2. Check the calculated route and, in particular, that the route deviation from
the original, given in the warning box, is within navigable limits.
CAUTION:
Before following the route, ensure that it is safe for navigation, noting that
it may deviate from your actual path travelled.
