Routes
The last way to navigate to a destination is to create a user-defined route. The Garmin GPSMAP 
178/178C lets you create and store up to 50 reversible routes (numbered 1-50), with up to 50 waypoints 
each. Routes can be created and modified in two ways. The first way is to ‘Edit on Map’ from the Route 
Edit Map Page, allowing you to see each route graphically on-screen as you create, review, or modify the 
route. The second way is to ‘Edit as Text’ from the Route Review Page, allowing you to see a list of the 
waypoints as you create, review, or modify the route. All of the GPSMAP 178/178C’s route functions are 
accessed through the Main Menu Page or the NAV key.
To create a route graphically:
1.   Press the MENU key twice to display the Main Menu Page. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight 
the ‘Route’ tab.
2.   Press the MENU key to display the route options page. Select ‘New Route’ and press ENTER
  Or, highlight the first available blank slot in the Route List and press 
ENTER
3.   To add an existing waypoint or map item to the route, use the 
ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the 
desired waypoint or map item on screen and press ENTER. Map items do not appear in the waypoint 
list. To create a waypoint from a map item, see page 45.
4.   To add a new waypoint to the route, use the map cursor to select the desired map position and press 
ENTER. Press ENTER again to confirm the new waypoint. You may also change the name, symbol, 
and other properties of the new waypoint (see pages 48).
  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 cursor. 
The bottom of the display shows you the number of available and used points. A route line appears 
on the map to indicate each completed leg, and a dotted line appears to indicate the distance and 
bearing to the arrow cursor from the last route waypoint.
5.   Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have finished defining all route waypoints.
6.   When finished press 
QUIT twice to return to the Route List Page; or press MENU, highlight ‘Edit as 
Text’ and press ENTER to return to the Route Review Page.
