Reference
SporTrak, but once you can visualize what a multileg route (route) is, it
becomes very easy to understand and create. If you understand that a
GOTO is a 1-leg route with a starting point and a destination point,
then imagine a bunch of GOTO’s strung together where the destination
of one GOTO is the starting point for the next GOTO. That means if
you had three GOTO’s, one from “A” to “B”, another from “B” to “C”
and a third from “C” to “D” you could then put them together to make
one multileg route. In this example you would have a 3-leg route that
went from “A” to “B” to “C” to “D”.

These routes have an advantage over GOTO’s in that A) the starting
point does not have to be your present position, B) they are always in
memory and if activated they remain activated, even when you turn the
SporTrak off and then back on, and C) they can be saved and used over
and over again.
(Note: these routes have been termed “multileg” in an effort to make the
understanding of them a little clearer, however you could create a
1-leg route and save it in the SporTrak’s memory.)
