• Editing a route by adding, removing and moving waypoints.
➤ To access the route soft keys, press the default soft key ROUTE:

Creating a New Route

Note: If there is a current route, it is cleared when you select MAKE ROUTE . If
you are following the current route you are prompted to STOP FOLLOW . Press
the YES soft key to continue, or NO to abandon route creation. If the route has
not been saved you are prompted to save it.
The Make and Follow a Route scenario in Chapter 2 provides a simple
example of how to create a route.
You can edit a route after you have finished making it, as described in Editing a
Route in the following sections.
➤ To make a new route by placing waypoints:
Note: You can pan the chart and change the scale whilst placing waypoints.
1. If necessary, move the cursor to the area in which you wish to make the
route, and select a suitable chart scale.
2. Press the ROUTE soft key, then press the MAKE ROUTE soft key. The make
route soft keys are displayed:
3. Move the cursor to the position on the chart where you want your first
waypoint to be. Press the PLACE WAYPOINT soft key.
Note: You can position the cursor on an existing waypoint – the text WPT
indicates you are re-using the waypoint rather than placing a new one. This
waypoint is included in the route when you press PLACE WAYPOINT .
The waypoint appears on the screen at the cursor position. The number
displayed alongside the waypoint identifies its position in the route. The
new waypoint is temporarily added to the waypoint list with the first
available waypoint number. The waypoints in the current route are re-
numbered to identify the new positions.
