Create And Save A Route - Lowrance GlobalMap 5500C Operation Instructions Manual

waypoint. The GPS unit allows you to navigate forward or backward
through a route. You can even begin navigating in the middle of a
route!

Create and Save a Route

You have the option of creating and editing a route in the unit, or you
can make a route on your computer with our MapCreate 6 software.
PC-created Routes
MapCreate is the easiest method for preparing a route, simply because
your PC's larger screen, keyboard and mouse are easier to manipulate.
To load a MapCreate route into the GlobalMap, follow instructions in
MapCreate's manual for creating a route and saving it as part of a GPS
Data File (file format *.usr). Copy the GPS Data File to an MMC and
insert the MMC in the unit. (See Sec. 2 for instructions on installing
MMCs. To load the GPS Data File into the GlobalMap's memory, see
the entry on Transfer Custom Maps & GPS Data Files in Sec. 3, Basic
GPS Operations.)
Routes Created in the GlobalMap
You can create a route by selecting existing waypoints from the way-
point list or you can set a series of route waypoints on the map with
cursor arrows and the Enter key. In this example, we'll create a route
from the map.
