Routes
The last way to navigate to a destination is to create a user-defi ned route. A route is a series of
waypoints or map items which may be navigated from point to point. The Garmin GPSMAP 3006C/3010C
system lets you create and store up to 50 reversible routes (numbered 1-50), with up to 300 points each.
Routes can be created and modifi ed in two ways. The fi rst way is to use the 'Map' option from the Route
page, allowing you to see each route on a map with a waypoint list as you create, review, or modify the
route. The second way is to use the 'Numbers' option from the Route page, allowing you to see a list of
the route points along with distance and course information as you create, review, or modify the route.
You may also switch back and forth between these to options as you create a route. All of the GPSMAP
3006C/3010C' s route functions are accessed through the 'Route' tab on the Main Menu page, the NAV key,
or through the Highway function' s Adjustment Menu.
To create a route graphically from the Route map page:
1. Hold ADJ/MENU for two seconds to display the Main Menu. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the
'Routes' tab.
2. Highlight the 'New Route' button and press ENTER.
3. The Map window is highlighted. To add an existing waypoint or map item to the route, use the ARROW
KEYPAD to highlight the desired waypoint or map item on screen and press ENTER. To create a waypoint
from a map item, see page 37.
4. To add a new waypoint to be used in the route, use the map cursor to select the desired map position and
press ENTER. Highlight 'OK' and press ENTER again to confi rm the new waypoint. You may also change
the name, symbol and other properties of the new waypoint (see pages 40).
As you add each new waypoint to the route, the list to the left shows the waypoint name. The bottom of
the display shows you the number of available and used points. A yellow/red route line appears on the map
to indicate each completed leg, and a blue dotted line appears to indicate the distance and bearing to the
arrow cursor from the last route waypoint.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have fi nished defi ning all route waypoints.
6. When fi nished press QUIT three times to return to the Route List page; or press FCTN to move the high-
light to the Route waypoint list and option buttons.
