Highlight a route and press MENU open the options menu. From
here you can activate the route, copy it, delete it, delete all routes,

transition to the next waypoint.

Manually Transitioning to the Next Waypoint

From the Route tab Option Menu, highlight Set Up Routes and
press ENTER to set the route leg transition (or waypoint transition).
Select Distance to enter a radius so that when you are within the
entered distance, the GPSMAP 296 will lead you to the next point
on your route.
When you select Manual you can transition to the next waypoint
when you want while navigating a route. While you are navigating
the route, open the Active Route page. Press MENU. Highlight Next
Route Waypoint and press ENTER to have the GPSMAP 296 start
routing you to the next point in your route.
NOTE: After you perform an update to your Jeppesen Database,
verify that all of your flight plans (routes) in your unit are still
current. If there is an obsolete Jeppesen aviation point in a saved
route, the route will be locked and unusable. You need to create a
new route with current Jeppesen Database points.
