9.ROUTES

The GPS Chart Plotter has the capability to store, for CP180/CP180i: 20 Routes with a

maximum of 30 Waypoints each, for CP300/CP300i: 50 Routes with a maximum of 30 Waypoints each.

A Route can consist of Waypoints or Marks. The difference is when a Route is made using Waypoints and the Route is deleted the Waypoints are also deleted. However if a Route is made of Marks and the Route is deleted the Marks stay in memory.
