Routes

A route is a series of waypoints linked together in an ordered sequence

to mark a course of travel. You can visualize a route as a string of

beads. The beads represent waypoints and the string represents the

course of travel connecting waypoint to waypoint.
The course from one waypoint to the next is a leg. Routes are composed

of one or more legs. The legs of all GPS routes are based on straight

lines between waypoints.
A route gives users the capability to navigate through several waypoints

without having to reprogram the unit after arriving at each waypoint.

The GPS unit allows you to navigate forward or backward through a

route. You can even begin navigating in the middle of a route!

Create and Save a Route
You have the option of creating and editing a route in the unit, or you

can make a route on your computer with our MapCreate software.

PC-created Routes

MapCreate is the easiest method for preparing a route, simply because

your PC's larger screen, keyboard and mouse are easier to manipulate.
To load a MapCreate route into the GlobalMap Baja, follow instructions in

MapCreate's manual for creating a route and saving it as part of a GPS

Data File (file format *.usr). Copy the GPS Data File to an MMC and insert

the MMC in the unit (See Sec. 2 for instructions on installing MMCs. To

load the GPS Data File into the GlobalMap Baja's memory, see the entry on
Transfer Custom Maps & GPS Data Files in Sec. 3, Basic GPS Operations.).
