Chapter 3: Operation 3-27
Creating a New Route
Note: If there is a current route, it is cleared when MAKE ROUTE is select-
ed
. If following the current route you are prompted to STOP FOLLOW.
Press the
YES soft key to continue, or NO to abandon route creation. If the
route has not been saved you are prompted to save it.
Routes can be created by either or both:
• Using the Route Building Table to select existing waypoints; this
assumes that a number of waypoints already exist.
• Placing new waypoints on the chart using the cursor.
After a route has been created, it can be edited as described in Editing a
Route on page 3-35.
➤ To make a new route using the Route Building Table:
1. Press the
ROUTE soft key; the route soft keys are displayed as shown
in Figure 3-30.
Figure 3-30: Route Soft Keys
2. Press the MAKE ROUTE soft key; the make route soft keys are dis-
played (Figure 3-31).
