Planning Routes

You can enter information on the Plan Route window such as your speed,

departure time, fuel flow, and departure date so your GPSMAP 3006C/3010C 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):
