Creating a Multi-Waypoint Active Route
There are four methods to create a multi-waypoint route:
¾
Insert By Number
- allows you to type in or scroll through in
numerical order using the cursor key, waypoints that you previ-
ously stored in the Waypoint Bank (see
WPT
later in this manual).
¾
Choose In Bank
- allows you to sort and scroll through the
waypoints stored in the Waypoint Bank (
WPT
) by various tech-
niques (symbol, date, distance from present position, numerical
order, alphabetical order, or search by user defined string). This is
a great tool if you can’t remember where you stored the waypoints
you want to use.
¾
Insert New Waypoint
- allows you to define new waypoint coordi-
nates, define a waypoint by using Bearing and Distance from an
existing waypoint, and enter them into the route and the Waypoint
Bank at the same time.
¾
Insert Route
- allows you to copy a previously defined route in
the
RTE2
screen to the active route. This choice is only displayed
when one or more routes are defined in the
RTE2
screen.
Our experience has shown that you are likely to choose several of
these methods at any given time to create a route. You can mix any of
these routines to create routes, amend routes, or insert waypoints in
the middle of existing routes. The software is designed to be as flexible
as possible to meet your changing needs.
Be sure to take a few minutes to read through the
Plotter
section to
find out how you can modify the active route using the
Plotter
and
GOTO
functions.
The following four sections are examples of how to use each of the
four basic functions outlined above. We encourage you to experiment
using all of the methods available to find the one that best meets your
needs. As long as you are working in the
RTE1
screen and sitting at
the dock, you are not going to do any damage (e.g. erase waypoints in
the Waypoint Bank or routes in the Route Bank), so have some fun
and find out how helpful this GPS receiver really is
.
If you are already comfortable with setting up a basic route, you might
want to skip the examples which follow and jump ahead to the
Maneu-
vering Within the Route
section later in this section to understand
some of the more advanced features of the software.
