Garmin GPS 48 - Manual (Page 46)

Route Definition Page
The GPS 48 lets you create and store up to 20
routes of 30 waypoints each.
The bottom of the route definition page features
several ‘function’ fields which let you copy, clear, invert,
or activate the displayed route. Routes 1-19 are used as
storage routes, with route 0 always serving as the active
route you are navigating. If you want to save a route
that’s currently in route 0, be sure to copy it to another
open route, as it will be overwritten by the next route
activation.
Routes can be copied, cleared, inverted, and activat-
ed through the route definition page.
To select the route definition page:
1. Highlight ‘ROUTES’ from the Menu Page, and press
E
.
The ‘route number’ field is displayed at the top of
the page, with a 16-character ‘user comment’ field to
the right. If no user comment is entered, the field dis-
plays the first and last waypoint in the route. The way-
point list on the left side of the page accepts up to 30
waypoints for each route, with fields for desired track
and distance between legs. The total route distance is
indicated below the waypoint list.
