With routes you can:
• Build a temporary route that you follow immediately (Quick
Route). If you do not rename a quick route, it will be overwritten
and its waypoints deleted when a new quick route is built.
• Build and save a route for later use, in which case the route is
stored in the route list.
• Convert a track of your course into a route.
Once created you have the option to view a route’s details, amend
its course, edit its name and color or erase it. All route options can
be accessed via the ROUTES softkey.
Building a route
Routes can either be built on screen or via the waypoint list. A route
consists of:
• New waypoints that you have specifically placed for that route; or:
• Existing waypoints that are already stored in the system; or:
• A combination of new and existing waypoints.
Note: A route can also be created from a track.
Up to 150 routes can be added to your system, each consisting of
up to 50 waypoints. As each waypoint is added, it is assigned an
index number corresponding to its position in the route and drawn
on the chart using the currently specified symbol. The following
should be noted:
• When a route is being built it is not active and does not affect
any current navigation.
• You can include a waypoint more than once in a route, but the
same waypoint cannot be placed consecutively.
• You can create a new route when the route list is full but on saving
this, you will be prompted to choose an existing route to overwrite.
• You cannot save a new route if any of the waypoints within it are
currently active.
• The way in which the OK and CANCEL buttons operate is
different when you are building and editing routes.
