Create a Route

There are several ways to create a route on the PN-60:
• When viewing a geocache, waypoint, or a Find search result, use the Route option on its details page. See the
appropriate section of the manual for more information.
• From the Routes Page, you can create a route to one point or multiple points.
To create a route from the current position
Current Position is the default start point for a route. It's the current GPS location or, if GPS is turned off, the map cur-
sor position.
1. On the Routes Page, select New.
2. To use the default route name—the last point you add to your route—go to step 3.
OR
To add a name for your route, highlight the New Route field, press ENTER, and use the keyboard to make chang-
es.
3. Ensure Add Point is highlighted and press ENTER.
4. Select the method for adding the point.
» Use Find–Opens the Find Page. Search for the point you want to add; from the search result details page, select
Add.
» Use Map–Opens the Map Page. Pan the map to the location you want to add and press ENTER. You can add
multiple points while panning. If there are multiple objects at the cursor location, a list displays—select the object
from the list. When you are finished adding points, press QUIT.
5. Repeat step 4 for each point in the route.
6. To navigate, select Drive or Hike.
OR
To view the route, go to MENU > View Route on Map, and then select Drive or Hike when prompted.
To hide the route, go to MENU > Hide Route on Map. To begin navigating, go to the route details page.
What it does
Sets the option for informing you that you are off course and showing the way back to
the route. When the route recalculates, the route highlight is cleared from the start to
the current GPS location. The original route is not modified; you can select it again to
restore it.
• Hiking–Select Automatic to continuously recalculate from the current GPS location
to the next stop in the route. Select Prompt to alert you when you are off track; you
can then choose to recalculate or ignore. Select Off if you do not want to use Back
on Track. Also, select Off for trail routes sent to your device from DeLorme Topo
North America or XMap—if the route recalculates, it will be converted to a direct
route to the finish.
• Driving–Select Automatic to recalculate based on how far off the route you
are. Select Prompt to alert you when you are off track; you can then choose to
recalculate or ignore. Select Off if you do not want to use Back on Track.
