Furuno GP-30/35 - Manual (Page 23)

4-1
In many cases a trip from one place to an-
other involves several course changes, re-
quiring a series of route points (waypoints)
which you navigate to, one after another. The
sequence of waypoints leading to the ulti-
mate destination is called a route. The GP-
30/35 can automatically advance to the next
waypoint on a route, so you do not have to
change the destination waypoint repeatedly.
4.1 Creating a Route
You can store up to 30 routes and each route
may contain up to 30 waypoints. The unit
numbers routes from 01 to 30. The easiest
way to create a route is to enter appropriate
waypoints beforehand and select them from
the waypoint list. However, you may also
enter waypoints while creating a route.
Note: Be sure to record all important routes
in a separate log. This unit is not a fail-safe
record keeping device.
