5. Press MENU to display the New Route Options and high-

light ‘Show Map’.

6. Press ENTER and use the ARROW Rocker Pad to place

the arrow over the first route waypoint. (Use the IN and

OUT ZOOM keys to aid in locating the desired waypoint.)

7. Press ENTER to accept the selected route waypoint.
8. Highlight the next waypoint on the map display and press

ENTER to add the waypoint to the route. Repeat this step

until all route waypoints have been added to the route.

Press PAGE or QUIT to exit the page.

9. You can also create route waypoints during this process. If

no waypoint exists at the arrow location, the NavTalk will

automatically create one—using a three digit number as

the waypoint’s name. (You can rename the waypoint fol-

lowing the steps on page 76.)

10. If you wish to include a city location in the route, place the

arrow over the city and press ENTER. A confirmation

page will appear with the name of the city as a new way-

point (sometimes abbreviated, depending on the length of

the original name). To add to the route, select ‘Use’ and

press ENTER.

As you add each new waypoint to the route, the

data window at the top of the map display will show
the name of the route you are creating, which includes
the first and last waypoints in the route.

A solid route line will appear on the map to indi-

cate each leg, and a dotted line will appear to indicate
the distance and bearing from the last route waypoint
to the cursor position.

The NavTalk’s Route List displays all the routes cur-

rently stored in memory, along with a descriptive name
for each route. Once a route has been created, it can be
activated and used for navigation from the Route List.

A route may be followed in the same sequence as it

was originally created, or you can invert the route and
navigate from the end waypoint back to the beginning
waypoint.

To activate a route:

1. Press MENU twice to display the Main Menu.
2. Highlight ‘Routes’ and press ENTER. The Route List is dis-

played, showing all routes stored in memory.
