6. ROUTES
Often a trip from one place to another involves
several course changes, requiring a series
of route points (waypoints) which you navi-
gate 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. A route may
consist of 35 points.
