5. If you want to change the route name or details now, select Edit on
Chart.
6. When you are finished, select Return.
11.2 Create a new route
You can create a new route even when there's an active route or waypoint already
on the Chart screen. You can pan or zoom the chart while you are creating a new
route.
If you want to create a new route that is similar to an existing route, just copy the
existing route (see "Copy an existing route" page 75).
To create a new route:
1. Display the Chart screen and the control panel. If you can't see the
Create Route button, select Waypoints, Routes & Tracks.
2. Select
Create Route.
3. The
Share Waypoints button shows the current setting. Select
the button if you want to toggle to the other setting. If it's:
ƒ On, when you create a new waypoint near to an existing waypoint
the new waypoint will snap to the existing waypoint and be locked
to the existing waypoint's position. However, each new waypoint
at that location has a unique waypoint number.
ƒ Off, a new waypoint is located exactly where you choose.
4. If you want to create a new route using existing waypoints from the
Waypoints Library, select Add Waypoint from List. The 8000i
displays the Waypoints Library so that you can select a waypoint.
(Remember that only named waypoints are stored in the Waypoints
Library.)
Otherwise, just select the position of the first waypoint on the Chart
screen. The 8000i immediately draws a blue circle at this position.
5. Select the location for the second waypoint on the Chart screen. The
8000i marks this position with another blue circle, names it w2, and
draws a line between the first and second waypoints.
6. Repeat this procedure until you have marked all the waypoints on your
new route. (If you want to make changes to the new route, select Edit
Route.)
7. When you are finished, select Finish. The 8000i immediately shows a
summary of the new route in a Route Details box.
8. If you want to change the route name, select EDIT next to the route
name then use the onscreen keyboard to enter the new name and
select OK.
9. When you are finished, select Return or, if you want to follow the
new route immediately, select Follow Now to make this the active
route. The new route is stored in the Routes Library and shown in red
on the Chart screen.
