A route is a list of waypoints that the boat can 
navigate along. Routes can be created, changed 
and deleted.

The 657 can have up to 25 routes. Each route can 
have up to 50 waypoints. 

A route can:

 

Start and stop at the same waypoint .

 

Include waypoints more than once.

The 657 can navigate along a route in either 
direction. Waypoints on the route can be skipped.

Routes are a powerful feature when the 657 is 
connected to an autopilot, allowing the vessel to 
be automatically guided along the route.

Make sure the course does not pass over land 
or dangerous waters.
