You can create and store up to 50 reversible routes (numbered 1–50), with up to
300 points each.
Creating a New Route
Using the Route tab on the Main Menu, you can create a new route in one of two
ways. You can select waypoints or map items on the map window, allowing you
to see each route point graphically on-screen as you create the route, or you can
select waypoints from the waypoint list, allowing you to see a textual list of the
route points as you create the route.
To create a new route graphically using the map window:
1. Press and hold
ADJ/MENU

2. Use the

the position marker ( ) changes to the map pointer ( ) with “ADD”
underneath it.

to highlight the location you want to add to your route,
and press
ENTER
. As you add each new waypoint to the route, the
upper-left corner of the screen shows the waypoint name. The bottom of

Repeat this step
until you finish defining all route waypoints.

waypoint is created for that location.
