Routes There are two types of routes that are commonly used in the Magellan Triton, Go To route and Multileg route. A third type of route, Backtrack route, is also commonly used and is described in the chapter on Trails. A Go To route is the simplest route possible. It begins at your current location and goes to a single destination you select. This is often referred to as a single leg route. An example would be you are at your camp and want to go back to a scenic area you saved as a waypoint during your last hike. You would create a Go To route by selecting the waypoint for the scenic area as the destination. The Magellan Triton would then plot a straight line from your location to the destination waypoint and provide you with updated information as you travel to get you to your destination. As you hike, the Magellan Triton continuously updates the information giving you the best possible directions to get you to your destination. A Multileg route is a series of Go To routes strung together. Using the same scenario as above, only this time you want to go to get supplies first and you know the position of a bridge you need to cross. For this route it would go from your current location, to the store, to the bridge and finally to the scenic spot. This multileg route consists of three Go To routes. Once the route is activated, the Magellan Triton will begin providing navigation information to get you to the store. After arriving at the store it will automatically begin providing information to get you to the bridge, and then the scenic spot. Another useful feature of multileg routes is that they can be saved into memory and used over and over. Tip: If you want to save a single leg go to route into memory, use the Create Route function and create a route with one leg.
