6-2-1 Introduction to routes
A route is a list of waypoints that the boat can
navigate along. Routes can be created, changed
and deleted.
A route can have between two and fifty waypoints.
A route can start and stop at the same waypoint;
in this case there must be three or more waypoints
in the route.
The boat can start at any waypoint in the route
and can travel along a route in either direction.
Waypoints on the route can be skipped.
Routes are a particularly powerful feature when
the TRACKER950 is connected to an autopilot,
allowing the vessel to be automatically guided
along the route.
Make sure that any routes that you create do not
cross land or any dangerous water.
