Creating a New Route
The GPSMAP 196 lets you create and store up to 50 reversible routes, with up to 50 waypoints (49
legs) in each route. Routes can be created several ways:
• In Aviation or Water modes, by entering the name/identifi er of each route waypoint in the same
sequence you will be navigating.
• In all modes, by using the map display to designate your departure point, interim waypoints and
fi nal destination.
• In Land Mode, by using the FIND key to automatically calculate the route and any turns (see
page 55).
To create a route by entering waypoint names/identifi ers:
1. Press the MENU key twice to display the Main Menu page. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight
the ‘Route’ tab.
2. Press the MENU key to display the Route Options page. Select the ‘New Route’ option and press
ENTER. (Or, highlight the blank route at the end of the list and press ENTER. )
3. If necessary, use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the fi rst blank waypoint name fi eld (under the
word ‘Waypoint’) and press ENTER.
4. From the ‘Find’ Window, use the ARROW KEYPAD and ENTER to select the desired waypoint. In
Aviation Mode, the Find Window provides editable fi elds for identifi er, facility name or city. You can
select the route waypoint from any of these fi elds. Or, you may wish to use ‘Recent’ or ‘User’ tabs to
select recently used or user-created waypoints, respectively.
In Land and Water modes, the Find Menu appears as described on pages 54-57. Follow the steps
provided on those pages to add waypoints to your route. (The Find Menu can also be displayed in
Aviation Mode by pressing MENU and selecting ‘Find Land Points’.)
5. Once each waypoint is selected, a review page for that waypoint is provided. With the on-screen ‘OK’
buttony highlighted press ENTER to add the waypoint to the route.
6. Repeat steps 4-5 until all the desired route waypoints have been entered.
7. Press QUIT to return to the Route List Page.
