crEatING a track-BasEd routE
There are two methods by which you can create a track-based
route; either by the manual input of track points using the
MARK/MOB key or by the automatic inputting of track points
from the ROUTES menu . A track-base route is very handy for
retracing your track .
manual method
This method creates a route by storing a position each time the
MARK/MOB key is pressed . Each time you alter your course,
store a new position to mark that location . Your GP450X will
create a route from these points that can be used for future
navigation or as a route to follow when returning home .
1 . Press the mark/moB key momentarily . The Waypoint
attribute window is displayed .
2 . Change the name, comment and Waypoint Icon (Mark) if
desired, otherwise accept the defaults .
3 . Select loG rtE and press the ENt key
4 . Repeat steps 1 to 3 each time you change your heading so
that another Waypoint is stored at that location . Up to 30
positions can be saved into the route .
5 . When you have entered all the positions you need, use the
mENu key to access the main menu . Select routEs and
press the ENt key .
6 . Highlight the loG route and press the ENt key .
7 . Select movE and press the ENt key . The route is moved and
stored in the next available route memory .
8 . Press the mENu key twice to exit .
automatic method
This method creates a route by automatically storing positions
at intervals of time or distance . Up to 30 positions can be saved
into the route
1 . Use the mENu key to access the main menu .
2 . Select routEs and press the ENt key .
3 . Select INtErval and press the ENt key .
4 . Select tImE or dIstaNcE as the method by which the
position will be stored and press the ENt key .
5 . Use the cursor keys to set the value for the time or distance
interval and press the ENt key .
For Example;
To record a point every 15 minutes, set the interval to tImE and
set the value to 00h 15m .
To record a point every 2 km, set the interval to dIstaNcE and
set the value to 02.0 km
NotE: Since each route has a limit of 30 Waypoints, you should
choose intervals that will extend the route to last the length of
your trip . If you need to use smaller intervals you may need to
save the points over several routes .
6 . Select voyaGE routE and press the ENt key . Select
start and press the ENt key .
The GP450X will begin storing points according to your settings,
starting with your current position . If you wish you can press
mENu twice to return to your previous navigation screens . The
GP450X will continue to log points in the background . Each
time a new point is saved, ‘XXX savEd’ (where XXX is the
Waypoint number) will be displayed at the top of the screen .
When 30 Waypoints have been saved a message will inform you
that you have reached the maximum number of Waypoints for
your route and you can no longer save any more points . If this
happens, press the ENt key to erase the message .
