REFERENCE Using Routes You may use up to 16 characters to custom name a route. The default name will be the first and last waypoint in the route. To activate a route, highlight the 'ACT?' prompt and press ENTER. Creating and Navigating Routes To create a route from the route definition page: 1. Highlight the 'ROUTE:' field, and press E. 2. Enter a route number, and press E. (Only open routes will be available.) 3. Press E to begin entry of a route comment. 4. Enter your comment, and press the E key. 5. Enter the first waypoint of your route, and press E. As you continue entering the rest of your way- points, the list will automatically scroll down. Whenever you activate a route, it will automatically select the route leg closest to your position as the active leg. As you pass each waypoint in the route, the receiver will automatically sequence and select the next waypoint as the active to waypoint. Activating and Inverting Routes After a route has been entered, it can be either activated in sequence or inverted from the route definition page. The process of activating or inverting a stored route takes a storage route (routes 1-19) and copies it into the active route (route 0) for navigation. The storage route is now no longer needed and will be retained in its original format under its existing route number. This system allows you to have an active route that you may edit during navigation and save as an entirely new route from the original. You will have to copy the active route to an unused storage route to save it, since new route or TracBack activation overwrites route 0. To activate a route: 1. From the route definition page, highlight the 'ROUTE:' field. 2. Enter the route number to be activated, and press E. 3. Highlight 'ACT?', and press E. To activate a route in inverted order: 1. Follow the steps above, but select 'INV?', and press E. 28
