Editing Routes (con’t.)
An on-screen menu of editing choices will appear,
with options for reviewing, inserting, deleting or chang-
ing the waypoint field highlighted. Use the up and down
arrow keys to select among the editing choices.
Once you’ve selected a waypoint from the route list,
choose a menu function:
1. To review the definition page for the waypoint, high-
light the ‘REVIEW?’ prompt and press
E
.
2. To add a new waypoint that precedes the selected
waypoint, highlight the ‘INSERT?’ prompt and press
E
.
3. To remove the selected waypoint, highlight the
‘REMOVE?’ prompt and press
E
.
4. To replace the selected waypoint with a new waypoint,
highlight the ‘CHANGE?’ prompt and press
E
.
Use the route waypoint editing instructions described
earlier for creating a route to complete your changes. If
you are editing the active route (route 0), copy your new
route version to an empty route to save it, because the
active route will be overwritten by a new route activation.
If you add, delete or change the first or last waypoint
of a route, the default comment (first and last waypoint)
will automatically be updated after your changes.
On-Route GOTOs
At the beginning of this section, we mentioned that
the GPSCOM 170 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. If you would prefer to steer directly to a route way-
point, you can 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, press
E
to confirm the on-route GOTO waypoint.
Note that after you reach the on-route GOTO way-
point, the GPSCOM 170 will automatically resume navi-
gating the rest of the route in sequence.

and pressing the GOTO key.
