Multileg Route
A 1-leg Route is a Route with a starting point and a destination point.
A multi-leg Route is a group of 1-leg Routes strung together where the
destination of one 1-leg Route is the starting point for the next 1-leg
Route. That means if you had three 1-leg Routes, 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 MYSTIC off and then back
on
c. They can be saved and used over and over again.
These routes have been termed "multileg" in an effort to make the
understanding of them a little clearer.
To create a Multileg Route, follow the same procedure as for a 1-leg
route, with one exception. Instead of saving the Route after the first
Destination Waypoint, add as many Destination Waypoints as you
need. Then save the Route.
Backtrack Route
A Backtrack route creates a Route using track information stored in
the MYSTIC to "retrace" your trip. A good example of using a
Backtrack would be if you were out fishing with your MYSTIC turned
on and computing position fixes. After 30 minutes you choose to
return to where you started, following the same route you just took. All
you need do is follow the instructions below and let the MYSTIC take
you there.
To create a Backtrack route:
1. From any Map Screen, press [MENU].
2. At the Map Menu, select
Routes, and press [ENTER].
3. At the
Routes Menu, select Backtrack and press [ENTER].
