Chapter 4: Using the Chart 59
4.10 Building and following a route
This section describes how to use routes and includes the following:
• What is a route?
• What can I do with a route?
• Building and saving a route.
• Following a route.
• Viewing details of routes.
Once created you have the option to view a route’s details, amend its course, edit its
name and color or erase it.
All route options can be accessed via the ROUTES soft key.
What is a route?
A route is a series of waypoints used to navigate a course. A route is displayed on
screen as a series of waypoints linked by a line.
What can I do with a route?
You can:
• Build a temporary route that you follow immediately (Quick Route). If you do not
rename a quick route, it will be overwritten and its waypoints deleted when a new
quick route is built.
• Build and save a route for later use, in which case the route is stored in the route list.
• Convert a track of your course into a route (see
page 80
).
