Creating and Using a Route - Overview
Route navigation allows you to create a sequence
of intermediate waypoints which lead you to your fi nal
destination. The eTrex Legend will store 20 routes, each
with up to 50 waypoints. A route can be created and
modifi ed from the Route Page, waypoints can be added
to a route from Find Menu. More complex routes can
be created using a PC and MapSource mapping programs
and then transferred to the unit memory. You can add a
waypoint or map item to an existing route at any time.
