Eagle Electronics 12 manual Select Waypoints From Map, Finishing the Route

Continue selecting waypoints until the route is com- plete. As you add waypoints to the list, the bearing and distance from each waypoint to the one previ- ous is shown to the right of the waypoint’s name. In this example, the second waypoint in the list is 104 degrees and 30.75 miles from the first way- point in the list.

Select Waypoints - From Map

To add a position from the map to the route’s list of waypoints, first highlight the position on the list of waypoints that you want to add the position. On the example screen at right, the third position on the list was highlighted. Next, press the right arrow key. Now highlight the “Insert From Map” label and press the right arrow key. The unit returns to the mapping screen with the cursor on. (See below.)

Move the cursor (using the arrow keys) until it’s on the exact location that you want to add to the route list. When it’s there, press the ENT key.

As you move the cursor, a line moves with it as shown in the screen at right. This line shows you the path from the last waypoint on the list.You can continue to save waypoints on the map by moving the cursor and pressing the ENT key to save the location. When you’re done, a line connects all the waypoints on the route, graphically showing you a diagram of your route. When you’re finished sav- ing locations, press the EXIT key. The unit returns to the route planning menu.

The locations you saved for your route from the map have not only been added to the route list, but have also been added

to the waypoint list.
