4.4 Creating a route
A route is a series of waypoints used to navigate a course. A route is
represented on-screen by a series of waypoints linked together by a
line.
Up to 150 routes can be added to your unit, each consisting of up to
50 waypoints.
Notes:
• When a route is being built it is not active and does not affect
any current navigation.
• A waypoint can be included more than once in a route, but can-
not be used consecutively.
• A new route can be created when the route list is full, but on sav-
ing, you will be prompted to choose an existing route to
overwrite.
• You cannot save a new route if any of the waypoints contained
in it are active.
Building a route
Routes can either be built on screen or by using the waypoint list
you can:
• Build a temporary route that you follow immediately (Quick
Route).
• Build and save a route for later use, in which case the route is
stored in the route list.
• Convert a track into a route.
