The course from one waypoint to the next is a leg; routes are composed 
of one or more legs. The legs of all GPS routes are based on straight 
lines between waypoints. 

A route provides the automatic capability to navigate through several 
waypoints without having to reprogram the unit after arriving at each 
waypoint. Once programmed into the GPS unit, a route provides the 
option of navigating forward through the route waypoints or in reverse 
order (you can even begin navigating in the middle of a route!) 

Create and Save a Route 
You have the option of creating and editing a route in the unit, or you 
can make a route on your computer with our MapCreate 6 software. 

MapCreate is the easiest method for preparing a route, simply because 
your PC's larger screen, keyboard and mouse are easier to manipulate 
than the unit. 

To load a MapCreate route into the unit, follow instructions in Map-
Create's manual for creating a route and saving it as part of a GPS 
Data File (file format *.usr). Copy the GPS Data File to an MMC and 
insert the MMC in the unit. (See Sec. 2 for instructions on installing 
MMCs. To load the GPS Data File into the unit's memory, see the entry 
on Transfer Custom Maps & GPS Data Files in Sec. 3, Basic GPS Op-
erations.) 

You can create a route by selecting existing waypoints from the way-
point list or you can set a series of route waypoints on the map with 
cursor arrows and the Enter key. In this example, we'll create a route 
from the map.
