Creating Routes
The GPSMAP 496 lets you create and store up to 50 reversible
routes, with up to 300 waypoints each.
Routes can be created in two ways. The first way is to select
waypoints from the Find Menu, allowing you to see a list of the
route points as you create the route. The second way is by selecting
waypoints or map items from the Map Page, allowing you to see
each route point graphically on-screen as you create the route.
