Tip: Back Track a Trail

Simply running the Navigate command will lead you along the trail from its starting point to its ending point — forward order. You can also back track a trail, or follow it in reverse order (from its ending point to its starting point.) First select the Reverse command to re- verse the trail point order before you start navigating: press → to

REVERSEENT← to NAVIGATE.

NOTE:

If you are at or near the start of the trail, the arrival alarm will go off as soon as navigation begins because of your proximity to the trail's first point. Just press EXIT to clear the alarm.

Routes

A route is a series of waypoints, linked together in an ordered sequence, that's used to mark a course of travel. You can visualize a route as a string of beads: The beads represent waypoints and the string repre- sents the course of travel connecting waypoint to waypoint.

The course from one waypoint to the next is a leg; routes are composed of one or more legs. The legs of all GPS routes are based on straight lines between waypoints.

A route provides the automatic capability to navigate through several waypoints without having to reprogram the unit after arriving at each waypoint. Once programmed into the GPS unit, a route provides the option of navigating forward through the route waypoints or in reverse order (you can even begin navigating in the middle of a route!).

Create and Save a Route

You have the option of creating a route in the unit, or on your computer if you have purchased our MapCreate 6 software.

PC-created Routes

MapCreate is the easiest method for preparing a route, simply because your PC's larger screen, keyboard and mouse are easier to manipulate than the pocket-sized iFINDER.
