Creating Routes - Garmin GPSMAP 296 Pilot's Manual

Creating Routes

The GPSMAP 296 lets you create and store up to 50 reversible
routes, with up to 300 waypoints each.
Routes can be created in two ways. The first way is to select
waypoints from the Find Menu, allowing you to see a list of the
route points as you create the route. The second way is by selecting
waypoints or map items from the Map page, allowing you to see
each route point graphically on-screen as you create the route.

NOTE: If you have created a route (Flight Plan) with a
Jeppesen point that is no longer current after you perform an
update to your Jeppesen Database, the route is locked. You need
to create a new route with current Jeppesen Database points.
