Routes
A route is a series of waypoints linked together in an ordered sequence,
used to mark a course of travel. You can visualize a route as a string of
beads. The beads represent waypoints and the string represents the
course of travel connecting waypoint to waypoint.
The course from one waypoint to the next is a leg. Routes are composed
of one or more legs. The legs of all GPS routes are based on straight
lines between waypoints.
A route gives users the capability to navigate through several way-
points without having to reprogram the unit after arriving at each
waypoint. Once programmed into the unit, a route gives you the option
of navigating forward through the route waypoints or in reverse order.
You can even begin navigating in the middle of a route!
Create and Save a Route
In the iFINDER, routes can be created, edited and navigated only in
Advanced Mode. You have the option of creating a route on your com-
puter, if you have purchased our MapCreate 6 software.
