Use the ROUTES softkey to create and manage waypoints that
form part of a route. The ROUTES softkey gives you more flexibility
than the GOTO softkey; you can build a route for immediate use or
build and save a route for later use.
A route can consist of new waypoints, existing waypoints or a com-
bination of both. You can build routes in Chart view, or by selecting
waypoints from the waypoint list.
Route name
Sunday Trip
You can store up to 150 routes, each consisting of up to 50 way-
points. As you add each waypoint it is automatically assigned an
index number corresponding to its position in the route. It is repre-
sented on the chart by whichever waypoint symbol you have
specified.
• While a route is being built it is not active and does not affect
any current navigation.
• You can include a waypoint more than once in a route.
• You can create a new route when the route list is full but, upon
saving it, you will be prompted to choose an existing route to
overwrite.
• You cannot save a new route if any of the waypoints within it
are currently active: make an active route inactive if it contains a
waypoint you want to re-use in a new route.
• The way in which the OK and CANCEL buttons operate is dif-
ferent when you are building and editing routes (see below).
