7.5 Entering Routes

Often a trip from one place to another involves several course changes, requiring a series of route points (waypoints) which you navigate to, one after another. The sequence of waypoints leading to the ultimate destination is called a route. The GP-1610CF can auto- matically advance to the next waypoint on a route, so you do not have to change the desti- nation waypoint repeatedly.

You can store up to 20 routes. A route may consist of 30 points.

A route is constructed using waypoints, there- fore enter waypoints beforehand.
