Routes
All routes are created, edited, activated and copied using the R key. Routes are a
series of waypoints flown in order to arrive at the desired destination. The GPS 150
contains two route pages, the Active Route page and the Route Catalog page. Pressing
R will display one of the route pages, and rotating O will display the other. The
Active Route page contains the following information:
The active leg field displays the beginning and ending waypoint identifiers of the
leg you are currently navigating. The first waypoint identifier is the ‘active from’ way-
point. The second waypoint is the ‘active to’ waypoint. The line connecting these
waypoints is known as the ‘active leg’ (see diagram at right).
The ‘cum or leg’ field can be selected to display ‘cum’ for cumulative distance and ete, or
‘leg’ to display each leg’s distance and ete. If cumulative is selected, the first leg’s distance
will be displayed, and the second leg’s distance will be the first plus the second, and so on.
This also applies to the ete field. If leg is selected, each leg’s distance and ete/eta will be dis-
played. If dtk or eta is displayed in the ete/eta field, it will be unaffected by the cum/leg
selection - it will always display the desired track of the leg or the time it will be complete.
