Creating Routes

Routes

The last way to navigate to a destination is to create a user-deﬁ ned route. The Garmin GPSMAP

182/182C/232 system lets you create and store up to 50 reversible routes (numbered 1-50), with up to

50 (254 on 182C) waypoints each. Routes can be created and modiﬁ ed in two ways. The ﬁ rst way to

the ‘Edit on Map’ from the Route Edit map page, allowing you to see each route graphically on-screen

as you create, review, or modify the route. The second way is to ‘Edit as Text’ from the Route Review

page, allowing you to see a list of the waypoints as you create, review, or modify the route. All of the

GPSMAP 182/182C/232’s route functions are accessed through the Main Menu page or the NAV key.

To create a route graphically from the Route Edit map page:

1. Press the MENU key twice to display the Main Menu page.

2. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘Route’ tab and press the MENU key to display

the route options page or you may also highlight the ﬁ rst available blank route slot and press

ENTER/MARK. (Skip to step 4 if you use this method.)

3. Select the ‘New Route’ option and press ENTER/MARK.

4. To add an existing waypoint or map item to the route, use the map cursor to highlight the desired

waypoint or map item on screen and press ENTER/MARK. Map items will not appear in the

waypoint list. To create a waypoint from a map item, see page 31.

5. To add a new waypoint to the route, use the map cursor to select the desired map position and

press ENTER/MARK. Press ENTER/MARK again to conﬁ rm the new waypoint. You may also

change the name and symbol of the new waypoint (see page 32).

As you add each new waypoint to the route, the data window at the top of the map display will

show the waypoint/map item name, bearing and distance from your location, and coordinates of the

cursor. The bottom of the display will show you the number of available and used points. A route line

will appear on the map to indicate each completed leg, and a dotted line will appear to indicate the

distance and bearing to the arrow cursor from the last route waypoint.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have ﬁ nished deﬁ ning all route waypoints.

7. When ﬁ nished press QUIT twice to return to the Route List page or press MENU, highlight ‘Edit as

Text’ and press ENTER/MARK to return to the Route Review page.
