Planning Routes

You can enter information such as your speed, departure time, fuel flow, and

departure date so your GPSMAP 3005C can estimate information about your trip.

To plan your route:

1. Press the

Plan soft key on the Route list to open the Plan Route window.

2. Enter planning data for speed and fuel flow. You can also enter the date

and time of your departure. As you enter planning information, the fields

on the Route list are automatically calculated.

NOTE: Fuel flow rates are measured in units per hour. System setting changes

for units of measure (statute, nautical, or metric) do not affect the fuel flow

measure. You should enter fuel flow rates based on available information for

your boat (operators manual, performance specifications) and note the units of

measure (gallons, liters, and so on).

3. Press

QUIT to return to the Route List.

To change the data column (Plan Route feature):

1. On the Route list, highlight the adjustment button to the right of the

Course column header, and press ENTER. The middle title is highlighted.
