Garmin 210 - Manual (Page 39)

The GARMIN GPSMAP system lets you create and store up to 20 reversible
routes with up to 50 waypoints each. Routes can be created and modified right
from the Map Page, alfowing you to see each route graphically on-screen as
you create, review, modify or navigate the route. The GARMIN route system is
a powerfuf and extremefy flexible system that you’ll want to master to get the
most out of your GPSMAP system, ft’s really quite simple.
When a route is activated or inverted, it is copied into Route 0. The original route
remains intact in its original storage route.
Each route in the GPSMAP system has its own route number. Routes 1
through 19 are used as storage routes, with Route 0 always serving as the
active route you are navigating. When you activate a route, the storage route
you are activating is simply copied into Route 0, the active route.
This feature lets you modify your active route while you navigate, without
changing the storage route you activated. When you are finished navigating
the active route, simply delete Route 0 by pressing the DELETE softkey (you
still have the original route in storage) to stop navigating the active route. To
store a modified Active Route, copy Route 0 to an empty storage route.
ROUTES ™
Ovmicw' /
Routes are broken down and navigated in
smaller segments called 'legs’. The waypoint
you are going to in a leg is called the ‘active
to’ waypoint, and the waypoint immediately
behind you
is called the ‘active from’ way-
point. The line connecting the ‘active to’ and
‘activefrom’ waypoint is referred to as the
‘active leg'.
When a route is activated in the GPSMAP
system, the route leg closest to your position is
automatically selected as the ‘active kg’.
