along. Routes can be created, changed and deleted.

can have up to 50 waypoints. A route can:
Start and stop at the same waypoint .
Include waypoints more than once.
The TRACKER can navigate along a route in either
direction. Waypoints on the route can be skipped.

be automatically guided along the route.
Warning: Make sure that routes do not cross
land or dangerous water.
