You can create and store up to 50 user-defined reversible routes 

(numbered 1-50), with up to 254 waypoints each. Routes are 

created and modified in two ways. The first method creates the 

route using a map page. This method selects points on the map. 

The second method enters the waypoint names as text on the Route 

Review Page. This method lists the waypoints as you create the 

route. All of the route functions are accessed through the Main 

Menu or the NAV key.

1.   Press 

MENU twice to display the Main Menu.

2.   Use the 

ROCKER to highlight the Route tab, and press 

MENU to display the route options page, or highlight the 

first available blank route slot, and press 

ENTER. (Go to 

step 4 if you use this method.)

3.   Select 

New Route, and press ENTER. 

4.   To add an existing waypoint or map item to the route, use 

the map pointer to select a waypoint or map item, and press 

ENTER. Map items do not appear in the waypoint list. To 

create a waypoint from a map item, see 

.

5.   To add a new waypoint to the route, use the map pointer 

to select a map location, and press 

ENTER. Press ENTER 

again to confirm the new waypoint. You can also change the 

name and symbol of the new waypoint (see 

page 8

).

  As you add each new waypoint to the route, the data 

window at the top of the map display shows the waypoint/

map item name, bearing and distance from your location, 

and coordinates of the pointer. The bottom of the display 

shows the number of available and used points. A route line 

appears on the map to indicate each completed leg, and a 

dotted line appears indicating the distance and bearing to 

the arrow pointer from the last route waypoint.
