After a route has been entered in the GPS 90, it can be

activated in its defined sequence or inverted (in reverse
o rder). The process of activating or inverting a store d
route takes a storage route (routes 1-19) and copies it
into the active route (route 0) for navigation. The storage
route is now no longer needed and will be retained in its
original format under its existing route number.

This system allows you to have an active route that

you may edit during navigation and save as an entirely
new route from the original. You will have to copy the
active route to an unused storage route to save it, since
new route activation overwrites route 0.

To activate a route:

1. Select the route definition page and press the

E

key to

activate the route number field.

2. Enter the route number to be activated and press

E

Inverting a route allows you to navigate route legs in

reverse order, without editing the original route.

To activate a route in inverted order:

1. Follow the same steps as above, but select the ‘inv’ com-

mand field and press the

E

key.
