Creating and Navigating Routes
To create a route from the route definition page:
1. Highlight the ‘route number’ field, and press ENTER.
2. Enter a route number, and press ENTER. (Only open routes will be available.)
3. Press ENTER to begin entry of a route comment, if desired (Fig. 48a).
4. Enter your comment, and press the ENTER key.
5. Enter the first waypoint of your route, and press ENTER. As you continue entering the
rest of your waypoints, the list will automatically scroll down as needed (Fig. 48b).
Just like the TracBack feature, routes are broken down and navigated in smaller
segments called ‘legs’. The waypoint you’re 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 between these two is called the ‘active leg’.
Whenever you activate a route, it will automatically select the route leg closest to
your position as the active leg. As you pass each waypoint in the route, the receiver
will automatically sequence and select the next waypoint as the active to waypoint.
