Routes, Marks and Tracks
Working with Routes, Marks and Tracks
When using the Adventurer 3000 there are three unique forms of navigational data (called Overlays) you can work with –
Routes, Marks and Tracks.
Routes are a sequence of connected waypoints of where you intend to go, for example a walk or ride that you have created
or downloaded and wish to follow.
Creating Routes
Routes can be created in the Memory-Map software on your PC, or downloaded from popular route sharing websites such
TrailZilla (www.trailzilla.com), and then transferred to your Adventurer 3000. Please refer to the help file in the Memory-Map
PC software for details on how to create routes in the PC software. Instructions on how to transfer routes from the Memory-
Map PC software to your Adventurer 3000 can be found on page 11 of this manual.
Although you will find it easier to create routes on your PC and download them to the Adventurer 3000, you can also create
routes on the GPS itself. To do this first position the map where you want the route to begin. Tap Extended Menu (
)
followed by Settings & Overlays (
). Select Overlay > Create > Route from the drop-down menu.
Tap on the map where you want the route to begin and then tap the map again where you want the next waypoint to be, and
so on. The GPS will automatically connect the waypoints together to form a route and join them with a line. When you have
finished adding waypoints double tap the screen when placing the last waypoint and the device will exit route creation mode.
If you have reached the edge of the map and wish to add more waypoints, end the route as described above and then scroll
the map so that you can still see your last waypoint and the map area you wish to add more waypoints into. Tap and hold on
the last waypoint and then from the menu select Add WP After and continue adding waypoints as required.
You can access more information about the route, view a hill profile, add more waypoints or delete the route by tapping and
holding on any one of the lines between the waypoints to access the Route menu (think of tapping and holding the same as
clicking the right mouse button on a PC).
Following a Route
When you are following a route the GPS will direct you to each waypoint and provide detailed route information, such as
distance, bearing and time to next waypoint, estimated time of arrival at the end of the route, distance to the end of the
route and more.
To begin following a route, locate the route on screen and then tap and hold on one of the lines between the waypoints. From
the menu that appears, select Follow Route and the two navigation windows will appear. Provided you have a GPS position, the
window on the left will show the direction you need to head to reach the next waypoint, and the box on the right will show
the route information.
As you progress through the route the GPS will automatically select the next waypoint, ensuring you are always on course and
heading in the right direction.
To stop following a route, simply close both of the navigation windows.
