Multi-Leg Routes

Multi-leg routes can be used to navigate to a final destination using multiple legs. An example would be
leaving the dock, motoring over to buoy 1, then the bait boat and finally to a fishing hot spot. This route would
go from Dock to Buoy 1,Buoy 1 to Bait, Bait to Fish.
Features of a multi-leg route:
• Multi-leg routes can be saved in internal memory or to an SD card.
• Multi-leg routes remain active even after the eXplorist has been turned off.
• Multi-leg routes can be edited, reversed, deleted or viewed on the map.
• When a multi-leg route is active, you can switch which leg will be used as the next destination point.
In the above example, you could skip going to Buoy 1 by selecting the Bait leg when the route is
active.
