8. The Easy Routing created route appears.
In the above example, five legs were created. Legs are color coded according to
safety levels, red for unsafe, yellow for potentially dangerous, and green for safe.
In the example, all legs were judged to be safe therefore the line between the start
and destination is completely green. If the route has an unsafe or potentially dan-
gerous leg, retry the calculation, with different locations.

out saving the route.
The Easy Routing created graphic is removed. If you saved the route, the Start and
Destination flags and the route remain on the screen. If you exited without saving the
route, only the Start and Destination flags remain on the screen. The flags can be re-
moved by selecting [DELETE] at [START POINT] and [DESTINATION POINT] on the
[EASY ROUTING] menu. The flags are also removed when the power is turned off.
