Garmin GPS 120XL - Manual (Page 34)

Route Definition Page
The GPS 120XL lets you create and store up to 20
routes of 30 waypoints each. Routes are created, copied
and edited through the route definition page, which is
accessed through the Menu Page.
To select the route definition page:
1. Press J until the Menu Page appears.
2. Use the
U
and
D
keys to highlight the ‘ROUTES’
option.
3. Press the
F
key to display the route definition
page.
4. To return to the Menu Page, press J .
The route number field is displayed at the top of the
page, with a 16-character user comment below. If no
user comment is entered, the field will display the first
and last waypoint in the route. The waypoint list in the
middle of the page accepts up to 30 waypoints for each
route, with fields for desired track and distance between
legs. The total distance of the route is indicated below
the waypoint list.
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
currently in route 0, be sure to copy it to another open
route, as it will be overwritten by the next route
activation.
