Garmin 196 Manuale Utente

If, while navigating a route, there is road construction or a closed 

road, you can have your GPSMAP 296 create a detour route. While 

navigating a course, press Direct To  . Select Detour from the 

Navigate menu. Select the distance you want, and press ENTER. 

The GPSMAP 296 recalculates your course based on your detour 

distance. To end the detour manually, press Direct To again and 

select Cancel Detour. 

You can add Via Points—points through which you would like to 

travel—to your route using the Edit Vias option. Via points are great 

for adding a stop at the gas station or bank to your route and are 

really helpful when planning a long trip.
