BASIC OPERATION > CREATING AND USING ROUTES
Creating and Using Routes
You can create and store up to 50 reversible routes (numbered 1–50), with up to
300 points each.
Creating a New Route
Using the Route tab on the Main Menu, you can create a new route in one of two
ways. You can select waypoints or map items on the map window, allowing you
to see each route point on the screen as you create the route, or you can select
waypoints from the waypoint list, allowing you to see a list of the route points as
you create the route.
To create a new
route on the map:
1. Press and hold ADJ/MENU to open the Main Menu.
2. Use the ROCKER to highlight the Routes tab.
3. Press the New Route soft key. The Route map window appears, and
the position marker ( ) changes to the map pointer ( ) with “ADD”
underneath it.
4. Use the ROCKER to highlight the location you want to add to your route,
and press ENTER. As you add each new waypoint to the route, the
upper-left corner of the screen shows the waypoint name. The bottom of
the screen shows you the number of available points. Repeat this step
until you finish defining all route waypoints.
If you select an area of the map that is not a feature or waypoint, a new
waypoint is created for that location.

4. Press the Use List soft key to open the Route list.

and press ENTER. The Find From Current Position Page appears.

points, such as Cities or Navaids.)
7. Select a waypoint to add to the route, and press ENTER. The Review
Waypoint Page appears.
8. Press the OK soft key to add the point to the route. As you add each new
waypoint to the route, the Route list shows the waypoint or map item
name, leg distance, course between points, and a selectable column to
show other route information.
