Garmin GPSMAP 175 - Manual (Page 57)

The last way to navigate to a destination is to create a user-defined route.
The GARMIN GPSMAP 175 lets you create and store up to 20 reversible
routes (numbered 1-20), with up to 30 waypoints each. Routes can be created
and modified right from the map page, allowing you to see each route
graphically on-screen as you create, review, modify or navigate the route. All
of the GPSMAP 175’s route functions are accessed through the main menu.
To create a route on the map:
1. Press the O key twice to display the main menu page.
2. Highlight the ‘Routes’ field and press T. The routes page will appear,
showing all the routes currently stored in memory.
3. Press the O key to display the route options page.
4. Press T to select the ‘Create New Route’ option.
The route edit page will appear, with the cursor displayed as an arrow pointer,
and will allow you to select your route waypoints using one of two methods:
5. To add an existing waypoint or navaid to the route, use the arrow pointer
to highlight the desired waypoint on screen and press T.
6. To add a new waypoint to the route, use the arrow pointer to select the
desired map position and press T. Press T again to confirm the
new waypoint.
As you add each new waypoint to the route, the data window at the top of
the map display will show the route number you are creating, along with the
first and last route waypoints of the route. A route line will appear on the map
to indicate each completed leg, and a dotted line will appear to indicate the
distance and bearing to the arrow pointer from the last route waypoint.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you have finished defining all route waypoints.
8. Press Q to finish and enter review mode, or J to return to the main
page sequence.
