Routes
A route is a series of waypoints linked together in an ordered sequence,
used to mark a course of travel. You can visualize a route as a string of
beads. The beads represent waypoints and the string represents the
course of travel connecting waypoint to waypoint.
The course from one waypoint to the next is a leg. Routes are composed
of one or more legs. The legs of all GPS routes are based on straight
lines between waypoints.
A route gives users the capability to navigate through several way-
points without having to reprogram the unit after arriving at each
waypoint. Once programmed into the unit, a route gives you 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
In the iFINDER, routes can be created, edited and navigated only in
Advanced Mode. You have the option of creating a route on your com-
puter, if you have purchased our MapCreate 6 software.
PC-created Routes
MapCreate is the easiest method for preparing a route, because your
PC's larger screen, keyboard and mouse are easier to manipulate than
the pocket-sized iFINDER.
To load a MapCreate route into the iFINDER, follow instructions 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 into the iFINDER. (See Sec. 2 for instructions on in-
stalling MMCs. To load the GPS Data File into the iFINDER's memory,
see the entry on Transferring GPS Data Files between the iFINDER
and a Computer in this section.)
Routes Created in the iFINDER
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.
