    ROUTE NAVIGATION In many cases a trip from one place to another involves several course changes, requiring a series of route points (waypoints) which you navigate to, one after another. The sequence of waypoints leading to the ultimate destination is called a route. This unit can automatically advance to the next waypoint on a route, so you do not have to change the destination waypoint repeatedly.
