4.4 Registering Routes
Often a trip from one place to another
involves several course changes, requiring a
series of route points which you navigate to,
one after another. The sequence of
waypoints leading to the ultimate destination
is called a route. The GP-150 can
automatically advance to the next waypoint
on a route, so you do not have to change the
destination waypoint repeatedly.
The GP-150 can store 30 routes and each
route may contain up to 30 waypoints.
Routes can be registered while in the Plotter
1 or Plotter 2 display mode.
Registering routes
1) Press the WPT/RTE key.
