Routes
The last way to navigate to a destination is to create a user-defined route. The
GARMIN GPSMAP 135 Sounder system lets you create and store up to 20
reversible routes (numbered 1-20), with up to 30 waypoints each. Routes can be
created and modified right from the map page, allowing you to see each route
graphically on-screen as you create, review, modify or navigate the route. All of the
GPSMAP 135 Sounder' s route functions are accessed through the main menu.
