What is a Route?

A route is a series of route points entered in the order to use for navigation. A route
can contain up to a maximum of 500 route points, and this equipment stores 200
routes.
Note: When connecting NavNet 3D units on the LAN network, a route can contain up
to a maximum of 100 route points.
You create a route by selecting geographical positions on the screen. These positions
are marked with blue squares.
You can follow a route that you have created, with the [Go To] feature. When you fol-
low a route, the current leg is shown as a red dashed line and the previous leg is
shown as a light gray line.
The routes on the screen can be edited from the pop-up menu. With this pop-up menu,
you can
• Insert route points in a route
• Move route points in a route
• Delete route points from a route
• Extend a route
• Split routes
• Find information about a route
• Delete a route
• Set a route as destination
• Follow a route in the reverse direction
• Ignore a route point when following a route
Note: Active routes can be shared with other TZT units via LAN. Data is shared auto-
matically; no operation is required.
