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?—
reviews the waypoint’s definition page
• Insert?—
adds a new waypoint that precedes the
selected waypoint
• Remove?—
deletes a selected waypoint
• Change?—
replaces the selected waypoint with a
new waypoint
You may delete a waypoint from a route, but only if
the route is not active. Note: Editing the original storage
route will not affect route 0. If you want to save an edit-
ed 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 12XL will automatically select the route leg
closest to your position as the active leg. This will give
you steering guidance to the desired track of the active
leg. Note that the first waypoint selected as the destina-
tion waypoint will be the route leg closest to your pre-
sent position. This may mean you’re not navigating to
the first waypoint in the active route—you may be navi-
gating to the last. If you prefer to navigate a route out of
sequence, you can 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 12XL will automatically resume navigat-
ing the rest of the route in sequence using the page you
were on before performing a GOTO.
