ROUTE NAVIGATION In many cases a trip from one place to another involves several course changes, requiring a series of route points (waypoints) which you navigate to, one after another. The sequence of waypoints leading to the ultimate destination is called a route. This unit can automatically advance to the next waypoint on a route, so you do not have to change the destination waypoint repeatedly. The figure below shows an example of a route between two points, involving six waypoints.
5.1 Creating Routes You can create a route three ways: through the route list (by latitude and longitude coordinates), by previously registered waypoints, by cursor.
