2.13 Routes
Often a trip from one place to another involves several course changes, requiring a
series of route points (up to 100) which you navigate to, one after another. The sequence of points leading to the ultimate destination is called a route. The route database stores 200 routes.
You create a route by pointing and clicking locations route points on the screen. Route
points are marked with solid blue circles in the default setting. If desired you can mark
route points with points. This can be done from the Routes menu.
Once you have created a route you can follow it, using the GOTO feature. When you
follow a route, the current leg is shown as a dotted line and previous legs are erased
from the screen. (points remain on the screen if route points are marked with point
symbols.)
• On-screen routes can easily be edited by displaying the Routes pop-up menu. With
the pop-up menu, you can
• Insert a point
• Activate a route
• Reverse route direction
• Split the result
• Find details about the route
• Delete a route
• Add new point(s) at the end or beginning of a route
• Skip a route point when following a route
• Find nearest port, etc.
Creating a New Route
In the default setting, route points are marked with a blue circle. Alternatively, you can
enter them as points, saving each point to the Points list. For details see "
route points as waypoints" on the next page.
1. Long-push the POINTS/ROUTE key. (The ROTOkeys Route and New also
enable route creation.) The route point placement cursor appears together with
the cursor.

4. Press the left-button key or right-button key. The line between the first point and
second point is now solid.
5. Drag the placement cursor to the next point in the route and press the left-button
key or right-button key. Repeat this step to enter all route points.
6. At the final route point, push the Rotary Knob to complete the route and save it to
the route database. All segments in the route are connected with a solid line.
The route is saved to the route list under the youngest empty point number, with the
prefix "RTE-". A solid blue line runs between route points and blue dots mark route
points.
Entering route points as waypoints
In the default setting route points are
