Route Page
If you're heading out on
the water without a
planned route to navi-
gate, the GPS 45 route
feature can still provide
a helping hand back
home.
Create a series of way-
points with the mark key
and save them to an
open route from the
Mark Position Page.
When you are ready to
head back to port, sim-
ply activate the route
you created in inverted
order (see page 30).
This method is especially
useful when you're in
unfamiliar waters or you
are simply running out
of daylight.

Fields
The route number field is displayed at the top of
the page, with a 16 character user comment below.
If no user comment is entered, the field will dis-
play the first and last waypoint in the route. The
waypoint list in the middle of the page accepts up
to 30 waypoints for each route, with fields for
desired track and distance between legs.
Below the waypoint list are the route page func-
tion fields which let you copy, clear, invert or acti-
vate the displayed route. Routes 1-19 are used as
storage routes, with route 0 always serving as the
active route you are navigating. If you want to save
a route currently in route 0, be sure to copy it to
another open route, as it will be overwritten by the
next route activation.
