2.14 Routes
A route is composed of a number of waypoints that are already stored
in the AP300DLX waypoint memory. The route system provides
flexibility with a simple approach to adding, inserting, deleting
waypoints in any of the routes. The AP300DLX provides the ability to
build up to 20 different routes and store the routes into memory.
You may swap the START and END points of the route, and also
specify the NEXT point in the route. This allows you to specify the
direction to follow the route (forward or reverse), and also to skip
quickly to an intermediate starting point if you do not want to follow
through the complete route.

Following are some guidelines about the routes used in the
AP300DLX:
• Waypoints must be stored into the AP300DLX before a route can be
created.
• Each route is identified with a name of up to 8 alphanumeric
characters.
• Waypoints that are used as part of a route may be assembled in any
order.
You may edit a route to do the following:
• Change the name of the route without affecting the route contents
• Add new waypoints to the end of the route.
• Insert new waypoints in between any waypoints in the route.
• Delete any waypoints from the route.
• Delete the entire route from memory.
Creating a route
Creation of a route involves the following steps:
• Assigning and entering a name for the route.
