waypoint. Once programmed into the GPS unit, a route provides the
option of navigating forward through the route waypoints or in reverse
order (you can even begin navigating in the middle of a route!)

Create and Save a Route

You have the option of creating and editing a route in the unit, or you
can make a route on your computer with our MapCreate 6 software.

MapCreate is the easiest method for preparing a route, because your
PC's larger screen, keyboard and mouse are easier to manipulate than
the unit.

To load a MapCreate route into the unit, follow instructions in MapCre-
ate's manual for creating a route and saving it as part of a GPS Data File
(file format *.usr). Copy the GPS Data File to an MMC and insert the
MMC in the unit. (See Sec. 2 for instructions on installing MMCs. To
load the GPS Data File into the unit's memory, see the entry on Transfer
Custom Maps & GPS Data Files in Sec. 6, Basic GPS Operations.)

You can create a route by selecting existing waypoints from the way-
point list or you can set a series of route waypoints on the map with
cursor arrows and the Enter key. In this example, we'll create a route
from the map.
