[. . . ] Routes can be created and modified right from the Map Page, allowing you to see each route graphically on-screen as you create, review, modify or navigate the route. The GARMIN route system is a powerful and extremely flexible system that you'll want to master to get the most out of your GPSMAP system. ROUTES Overview SECTION 8 "Active Leg" « Waypoint 2 ("active to" waypoint) « « ê « Waypoint 1 ("active from" waypoint) When a route is activated or inverted, it is copied into Route 0. The original route remains intact in its original storage route. Each route in the GPSMAP system has its own route number. Routes 1 through 19 are used as storage routes, with Route 0 always serving as the active route you are navigating. When you activate a route, the storage route you are activating is simply copied into Route 0, the active route. This feature lets you modify your active route while you navigate, without changing the storage route you activated. When you are finished navigating the active route, simply delete Route 0 by pressing the DELETE softkey (you still have the original route in storage) to stop navigating the active route. To store a modified Active Route, copy Route 0 to an empty storage route. Routes are broken down and navigated in smaller segments called `legs'. The waypoint you are going to in a leg is called the `active to' waypoint, and the waypoint immediately behind you is called the `active from' waypoint. The line connecting the `active to' and `active from' waypoint is referred to as the `active leg'. When a route is activated in the GPSMAP system, the route leg closest to your position is automatically selected as the `active leg'. 37 SECTION 8 ROUTES Creating Routes Graphically All of the GPSMAP route functions are accessed through the ROUTES softkey, located at the far left of the softkey menu. Use the K keypad to select an empty storage route (routes 1-19) and press the C key. You can create a route in the active route (Route 0) position, but you'll need to copy it to an empty storage route to save it, as it will be overwritten by the next route activation. The route list window will be replaced by the Map Page, with the target cursor appearing as an arrow pointer. To add waypoints to the route, use the K keypad to move the arrow cursor to the desired position and press the C key. HINT: Once the map display is in route creation mode, you can use the arrow cursor to `snap to' existing on-screen waypoints or navaids, or create new waypoint positions. Existing waypoint positions will be added to the route without confirmation. Whenever you are adding a new route waypoint not currently stored in memory, you'll be asked to save the new waypoint. Once you've entered all the desired route waypoints, press the EXIT softkey. The map display will now return to the map review mode, where you can review, activate, invert or modify the current on-screen route. The review mode will always appear when you have finished creating a new route on the map display or when you have selected an existing route for review from the route list window. 38 When the review mode is in use, the cursor may be used to highlight individual route legs. When a route leg is highlighted, the `active from' and `active to' waypoints will be displayed at the bottom of the data window, with the desired track (DTK) and distance (DIS) for the leg indicated below. The rest of the map review functions are performed through the map review softkeys at the bottom of the screen. [. . . ] Position--An exact, unique location based on a geographic coordinate system. APPENDIX Glossary SECTION G 79 SECTION G APPENDIX Glossary Turn (TRN)-- The difference and direction in degrees between the bearing to your destination and your course over ground.
