Routes Created in iFINDER

You can create a route by selecting existing waypoints from the way- point list or you can set a series of route waypoints on the map with cursor arrows and the Enter key. In this example, we'll create a route from the map.

2.Press ENTto (ROUTE END)ENTto ADD FROM MAPENT. The Map Page appears with the cursor showing.

3.Use the Zoom keys and arrow keys to move the map and cursor until the cursor is centered on the spot where you want your route to begin. (If you are starting at your current position or the current cursor posi- tion, you are already at the starting spot.)

4.Set the first route waypoint: press ENT. In this example we moved to the intersection of 11th Street and 145th E. Ave. to start our route to a public hunting area next to a river.
