waypoint. Once programmed into the GPS unit, a route provides the
option of navigating forward through the route waypoints or in reverse
order (you can even begin navigating in the middle of a route!)
Create and Save a Route
You have the option of creating and editing a route in the unit, or you
can make a route on your computer with our MapCreate 6 software.
PC-created Routes
MapCreate is the easiest method for preparing a route, simply because
your PC's larger screen, keyboard and mouse are easier to manipulate
than the gimbal-mounted GlobalMap 4000M.
To load a MapCreate route into the GlobalMap 4000M, follow instruc-
tions in MapCreate's manual for creating a route and saving it as part
of a GPS Data File (file format *.usr). Copy the GPS Data File to an
MMC and insert the MMC in the GlobalMap 4000M. (See Sec. 2 for in-
structions on installing MMCs. To load the GPS Data File into the
GlobalMap 4000M memory, see the entry on Transfer Custom Maps &
GPS Data Files in Sec. 3, Basic GPS Operations.)
Routes Created in the GlobalMap 4000M
You can create a route by selecting existing waypoints from the way-
point list or you can set a series of route waypoints on the map with
cursor arrows and the Enter key. In this example, we'll create a route
from the map.
