until the desired route number appears. In this example we’re using route
number one. To run the route from the last waypoint to the first, highlight
the “RUN ROUTE” label and press the right arrow key to change it from
forward to reverse.
Now highlight the first waypoint in the route that
you wish to start with and press the right arrow
key.  (The first waypoint in the route is used in
this example.) The screen shown above right
appears. Now select “DIRECT TO” and press the
right arrow key.
The unit returns to the last used navigation, map-
ping, or windows screen. In this example, map
screen 1 was in use. A box with the “S” inside
represents your location when you started the
route. A dotted line shows from your starting po-
sition to the waypoint. A dashed line extends from
this waypoint to each of the other waypoints in
the route. Follow these lines to get to each of the
waypoints. When you enter the radius set by the
arrival alarm, the unit automatically switches to
the next waypoint on the list, showing navigation
data to that waypoint, and so on until the last way-
point on the route list has been reached. (Note: The arrival alarm does not
have to be turned on.)  The unit continues to show navigation data to the
last waypoint in the route until you end the navigation. (See Cancel Navi-
gation)
Following a Route - Auto Start Method
You don’t have to choose the starting waypoint in
a route. Selecting “AUTO START” on the route
planning menu, starts navigation along the
 leg
 of
the route that is closest to your present position.
The screen shown at the top of the next page
shows the result of the auto start feature. When
the route was started, the first leg of the route
(from waypoint #3 to waypoint #4) was the clos-
est to the present position. Therefore, the unit
shows navigation information to waypoint number 4. The first leg of the
route, from #3 to #4 is shown on the screen by a dotted line.  Once you
arrive at waypoint number 4, the unit switches to the next waypoint in the
route, and so on. The rest of the route navigation is used normally.
