Methods for routing you to a destination

•If you select Go To on the Waypoint page, or other Find items, a straight path is created.

•If you select Navigate when on a Route page, the GPSMAP 76Cx uses a route made of waypoints or Find Menu items. It navigates directly from point to point.

•If you select the Follow Roads option on the Routing Setup page. Both Go To navigation and point-to-point allow you to Auto-route using roads. Auto-routing uses roadways in the map database to automatically calculate a route to your destination. Turns on roadways are preceded by a guidance message with a graphic of the turn.
