Garmin GPS 12XL - Manual (Page 34)

Editing Routes
A route can be edited any time after its creation.
To edit a route from the active route page or
the route definition page:
1. Select the waypoint you want to edit, and press .
An on-screen menu of editing choices will appear,
with options for reviewing, inserting, deleting, or
changing the waypoint field highlighted. This field con-
tains the following options:
• Review?— displays the waypoint definition page
for the selected waypoint
• Insert?— adds a new waypoint directly in front
of the selected waypoint
• Remove?— deletes the selected waypoint from
the route
• Change?— allows you to replace the selected
waypoint with a new waypoint
Note: Editing the original storage route will not
affect route 0. If you want to save an edited version of
route 0, save it to an open storage route.
On-Route GOTOs
At the beginning of this section, we mentioned that
the GPS 12XL will automatically select the route leg
closest to your position as the active leg. This will give
you steering guidance to the desired track (desired
course) of the active leg. Note that the first waypoint
selected as the destination waypoint will be along the
route leg closest to your present position. This may
mean you’re not navigating to the first waypoint in the
active route—you may even be navigating to the last.
You can manually navigate a route out of sequence at
any time (bypassing one or more interim waypoints) by
perform an “on-route GOTO” from the active route page.
To perform an “on-route GOTO” from the active
route page:
1. Highlight the desired route waypoint, and press .
2. Once the GOTO waypoint page appears with the way-
point highlighted, press .
Note that after you reach the on-route GOTO way-
point, the GPS 12XL will automatically resume navigat-
ing the rest of the route in sequence.
