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 

from the middle of a route. 
Create and Save a Route 
You have the option of creating and editing a route in the unit or mak-

ing a route on your computer using MapCreate software. 

MapCreate is the easiest method for preparing a route, 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 

MapCreate'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. 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 Operations. 

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.
