Routes
A route is a series of waypoints, linked together in an ordered se-
quence, that's used to mark a course of travel. You can visualize a route
as a string of beads: The beads represent waypoints and the string rep-
resents the course of travel connecting waypoint to waypoint.
The course from one waypoint to the next is a leg; routes are composed
of one or more legs. The legs of all GPS routes are based on straight
lines between waypoints.
A route provides the automatic capability to navigate through several
waypoints without having to reprogram the unit after arriving at each
waypoint. Once programmed into the GPS unit, a route provides the
option of navigating forward through the route waypoints or in reverse
order. (You can even begin navigating in the middle of a route!)
Create and Save a Route
You have the option of creating a route in the unit, or on your computer
if you have purchased our MapCreate 6 software.
PC-created Routes
When you're making routes exclusively for use in Land Mode, MapCre-
ate is the easiest method for preparing them, simply because your PC's
larger screen, keyboard and mouse are easier to manipulate than the
smaller AirMap.
To load a MapCreate route into AirMap, follow instructions in MapCre-
ate's manual for creating a route and saving it as part of a GPS Data File
(file format *.usr). Copy the GPS Data File to an MMC and insert the
MMC in AirMap. (See Sec. 2 for instructions on installing MMCs. To load
the GPS Data File into AirMap memory, see the entry on
Transferring
GPS Data Files between AirMap and a Computer in this section.)
