Garmin GPS III - Manual (Page 62)

Route navigation allows you to manually create a sequence of intermediate way-
points which lead you to your final destination. The GPS III will store up to 20
reversible routes, with up to 30 waypoints in each route. Routes can be created and
modified by text entry (using the rocker keypad to enter waypoint names) or directly
from the map display. Using the map display allows you to see each route graphically
on-screen as you create, review, modify or navigate the route. All of the GPS III’s route
functions are accessed through the Main Menu.
To create a new route by entering the name of each waypoint:
1. Press MENU twice to display the Main Menu.
2. Highlight ‘Routes’ and press ENTER. The Route List is displayed, showing all routes
stored in memory.
3. Press MENU to display the Route Options.
4. Highlight ‘New Route’ and press ENTER. The GPS III creates a route called ‘EMPTY- 1’.
(The name changes as you add waypoints to the route, so make note of the route
name for future reference.)
5. Highlight the first waypoint name field and press ENTER to begin entering the name of
an existing waypoint in memory.
6. Use the rocker keypad to enter the name of the route waypoint.
7. Press ENTER to accept the selected route waypoint.
8. Highlight the next waypoint name field, press ENTER and repeat steps 6 & 7 until all
the waypoints have been added to the route.
To display the Route List,
showing all routes stored in
memory, select ‘Routes’ from
the Main Menu.
Select ‘New Route’ from the
Route Options and enter the
identifiers for the route way-
points in the sequence you
wish to follow them.
