3.9 Routes
Often a trip from one place to another involves several course changes, requiring a series
of route points (waypoints) which you navigate to, one after another. The sequence of
waypoints leading to the ultimate destination is called a route. Your unit can automatically
advance to the next waypoint on a route, so you do not have to change the destination
waypoint repeatedly.
You can store up to 200 routes, and a route may have 35 waypoints.
3.9.1 Creating routes
Entering a route with existing waypoints
This method constructs routes by using existing waypoints. For C-MAP, the SAFE ROUTE
CHECK function should be done for creating routes.
1. Press the MENU key.
2. Press the WAYPOINTS/ROUTES soft key.
