Creating
New Routes
To create a route directly
from the map display,
select ‘New Route’ from
the Main Menu then se-
lect ‘Show Map’ from
the New Route Options.
You can add city (or
highway exit) locations
to a route by placing the
editing arrow on a city
(or highway exit) and
pressing ENTER.
To create a route from the map display:
1. Press MENU twice to display the Main Menu.
2. Highlight ‘Routes’ and press ENTER. The Route
List is displayed, showing all routes stored in
memory.
3. Press MENU to display the Route Options.
4. Highlight ‘New Route ’ and press ENTER. The
GPS 12 MAP creates a route called ‘EMPTY- 1’.
(The name changes as you add waypoints to the
route, so make note of the route name for future
reference.)
5. Press MENU to display the New Route Options
and highlight ‘Show Map’.
6. Press ENTER and use the rocker keypad to place
the arrow over the first route waypoint. (Use the IN
and OUT zoom keys to aid in locating the desired
waypoint.)
7. Press ENTER to accept the selected route
waypoint.
8. Highlight the next waypoint on the map display
and press ENTER to add the waypoint to the
route. Repeat this step until all route waypoints
have been added to the route. Press PAGE or
QUIT to exit the page.
9. You can also create route waypoints during this
process. If no waypoint exists at the arrow
location, the GPS 12 MAP will automatically
create one—using a three digit number as the
waypoint’s name. (You can rename the waypoint
following the steps on page 47.)
10. If you wish to include a city location in the route,
place the arrow over the city and press ENTER. A
confirmation page will appear with the name of the
city as a new waypoint (sometimes abbreviated,
depending on the length of the original name). To
add to the route, select ‘Use’ and press ENTER.
As you add each new waypoint to the route,
the data window at the top of the map display
will show the name of the route you are creating,
which includes the first and last waypoints in the
route. A solid route line will appear on the map
to indicate each leg, and a dotted line will appear
to indicate the distance and bearing from the last
route waypoint to the cursor position.
