Editing Routes
A route can be edited any time after its creation.
To edit a route from the active route page or
the route definition page:
1. Select the waypoint you want to edit, and press
E
.
An on-screen menu of editing choices will appear,
with options for reviewing, inserting, deleting, or
changing the waypoint field highlighted. This field con-
tains the following options:
Review?displays the waypoint definition page
for the selected waypoint
Insert?adds a new waypoint directly in front
of the selected waypoint
Remove?deletes the selected waypoint from
the route
Change?allows you to replace the selected
waypoint with a new waypoint
Note: Editing the original storage route will not
affect route 0. If you want to save an edited version of
route 0, save it to an open storage route.
On-Route GOTOs
At the beginning of this section, we mentioned that
the GPS 12 will automatically select the route leg closest
to your position as the active leg. This will give you
steering guidance to the desired track (desired course) of
the active leg. Note that the first waypoint selected as the
destination waypoint will be along the route leg closest
to your present position. This may mean you’re not navi-
gating to the first waypoint in the active route—you may
even be navigating to the last. You can manually navigate
a route out of sequence at any time (bypassing one or
more interim waypoints) by perform an “on-route
GOTO” from the active route page.
To perform an “on-route GOTO” from the active
route page:
1. Highlight the desired route waypoint, and press
G
.
2. Once the GOTO waypoint page appears with the way-
point highlighted, press
E
.
Note that after you reach the on-route GOTO way-
point, the GPS 12 will automatically resume navigating
the rest of the route in sequence.
