Creating Routes

To create a route graphically from the Route Review page:

1. Press the MENU key twice to display the Main Menu page. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight

the ‘Route’ tab, then press the MENU key to display the route options page.

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

3. Press MENU, highlight ‘Create on Map’ and press ENTER/MARK.

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

waypoint or map item on screen and press ENTER/MARK.

To add a map location to the route that is not an existing waypoint or map item, you must

mark it as a new waypoint. Use the arrow 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 41).

5. As you add each new waypoint to the route, the data window just above the map display will

show the waypoint/map item name or ‘Map Pointer’, bearing and distance from your location, and

coordinates of the cursor. The top data window shows the name of the route as it is being created,

using the beginning and end points as the default name. The bottom of the display shows the

number of available and used points. A route line appears on the map to indicate each completed

leg, and a dotted line appears 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. To change the route name, press MENU, then select ‘Edit Route Name’ and press ENTER/MARK.

The route name will be highlighted. Press ENTER/MARK to highlight the ﬁ rst character, then use

the ARROW KEYPAD to change the character and move to the next space. Press ENTER/MARK

when you are done changing the route name, then QUIT to return to the route list.

8. When ﬁ nished, press MENU, highlight either ‘Edit as Text’ to return to the Route Review page, or

‘Stop Editing Route’ (or press QUIT) to return to the Route List page, then press ENTER/MARK;

or just press QUIT.

You will see ‘ADD’ below the cursor

as you add points.

To stop editing, press MENU and select

‘Edit as Text’ or ‘Stop Editing Route’.
