you can erase the route from the RTE1 screen and the original
stored route will remain intact in the RTE2 screen.
The following CFG1 menus directly impact the RTE functions:
Ø Navigation - sets a variety of important functions and alarms

(when under 1000 meters), nautical miles and feet (when

pependicular line, complex (combination of bisector line
and perpendicular line), distance to waypoint, or manual.
ð Waypoint Approach distance
ð Autopilot alarm control
Ø Position - sets 2D or 3D mode, antenna height, Lat/Lon, Loran
or Decca TDs, UTM, or User Grid (optional) and some alarm
limits
Ø Time - sets time offsets, and 12 or 24 hour clock mode (for
ETA calculation, and waypoint passed time stamp)

RTE1 - The Active Route

The RTE1 screen provides the active route data for the NAV and
PLOT screens. It also maintains a waypoint pass log for you. One
other important feature in the RTE1 screen that you need to be
aware of, is that the up (é) and down (ê) arrow softkeys, displayed
when you are in the edit mode under the Route Control softkey,
control which waypoints are skipped (down arrow - ê) and which
are restored (up arrow - é) for your current route.
Note: The receiver will recalculate the route when a
navigation mode, either Rhumb Line or Great Circle
is selected.
