Create and Save a Route
You have the option of creating and editing a route in the unit or you can make a route on your computer with our MapCreate 6 software.
MapCreate is the easiest way to prepare a route. Your PC's larger screen, keyboard and mouse are easier to manipulate than the gimbal- mounted unit.
To load a MapCreate route into the unit, follow the instructions in MapCreate's manual for creating and saving a route as part of a GPS Data File (file format *.usr). Copy the GPS Data File to an MMC and insert the MMC in the unit. (See Sec. 2 for instructions on installing MMCs. To load the GPS Data File into the Unit memory, see the entry on Transfer Custom Maps & GPS Data Files in Sec. 6, Basic GPS Operations.
Routes Created in the Unit
You can create a route by selecting saved waypoints from the waypoint list or you can set a series of route waypoints on the map with cursor arrows and the ENT key. In this example, we'll create a route from the map.
