RTE2 - The Route Bank

The Route Bank is a convenient place for you to preprogram seg-
ments of a long voyage, or to program routes that you follow over
and over again. Creating routes for the Route Bank uses the same
methods as the Active Route with a few exceptions: you can't use the
GOTO key, and you can't use the Plotter screen. You can use other
routes as a subset to create a new route. Remember, you can always
tie routes together in the Active Route by inserting one after another.
You will find a Route Name softkey when you first enter the edit
mode. The Route Name selection allows you to identify each route by
name, number and symbol when you are viewing the Route Bank
from the main menu. To create a route:
1. Select the RTE key until the RTE2 screen is displayed.
2. Move the cursor to the route number you want to create or edit.
3. Press the EDIT key.
4. Use the entry methods described in the Creating a Multi-Waypoint
5. When you are finished selecting waypoints, highlight the Route
50
Active Route section, following the exceptions noted above.
If you have a route in RTE1 that is not stored in RTE2, you can
copy it into the Route Bank by selecting Insert then Insert Route,
either in the forward or reverse direction.
Name softkey and press ENT.
