Entering Routes, Abcdef | Furuno GP-1850F, GP-1850DF guide

7. ROUTES

Often a trip from one place to another involves several course changes, requiring a series of route points (waypoints) which you navi- gate to, one after another. The sequence of waypoints leading to the ultimate destination is called a route. Your unit can automatically advance to the next waypoint on a route, so you do not have to change the destination waypoint repeatedly.

You can store up to 200 routes. A route may consist of 35 points.
