As you move along your intended course, you may need to pan the 

Master Map and periodically zoom in and out to see where to place 

route waypoints, and where you are going next. The pan and zoom 

buttons will always work, even when the 

 command is ac-

tive. This way, you don't have to turn off Create Route just to move 

the map. 

3. Click the 

 button   on the GPS Data Toolbar. Your mouse 

pointer becomes an arrow with a route symbol

, two waypoints connected 

by a magenta route line. 
4. Move the mouse pointer so that the arrow point is where you want to 

start your route. Click to set the first waypoint. Move your mouse away and 

you can see the waypoint. A straight magenta route line now runs from 

Waypoint 001 to your mouse pointer like a rubber band, showing you a 

route is under construction. 

 

5. You can move off in any direction and the next waypoint will be linked in 

a straight line to waypoint 1. Relocate your mouse pointer along your in-

tended route and click to create additional route waypoints as needed. Basi-

cally, you will set a new waypoint every time you need to change direction. 
6. To close the 

 command, right-click or press
