The active route is now empty and ready for new input. If you want
to work in other areas of the receiver first, you will need to press

Creating A Multi-Waypoint Active Route

There are four methods to create a multi-waypoint route:
Ø Insert By Number - allows you to type in or scroll through
waypoints, in numerical order using the cursor key, which you
previously stored in the Waypoint Bank (see WPT later in this
manual);
Ø Choose In Bank - allows you to sort and scroll through the
waypoints stored in the Waypoint Bank (WPT) by various
techniques (symbol, date, distance from present position,
numerical order, alphabetical order, or search by user defined
string). This is a great tool if you can't remember where you
stored the waypoints you want to use;
Ø Insert New Waypoint - allows you to define new waypoint
coordinates, define a waypoint by using Bearing and Distance
from an existing waypoint, and enter them into the route and
the Waypoint Bank at the same time;
Ø Insert Route - allows you to copy a previously defined route in
the RTE2 screen to the active route. This choice is only
displayed when one or more routes are defined in the RTE2
screen.
Our experience has shown that you are likely to choose several of
these methods at any given time to create a route. You can mix any
of these routines to create routes, amend routes, or insert waypoints
in the middle of existing routes. The software is designed to be as
flexible as possible to meet your changing needs.
Be sure to take a few minutes to read through the Plotter section to
find out how you can modify the active route using the Plotter and
GOTO functions.
The following four sections are examples of how to use each of the
four basic functions outlined above. We encourage you to experi-
ment using all of the methods available to find the one (or two, or
three) that best meets your needs. As long as you are working in the
RTE1 screen and sitting at the dock, you are not going to do any
