About route navigation
When a route is selected for navigation its waypoints are marked by
yellow flags (except waypoint-created routes) and connected with a
light-blue dashed line.
The unit will automatically select the first waypoint in the route plan
for you go to towards from your present position. Once you arrive
within the radius of the arrival alarm, the unit will automatically switch
to the next waypoint in sequence.
You might also try another way to “arrive” at your destination
waypoint. This involves changing the arrival alarm range to a larger
number. This way too is fraught with danger, for if you specify the
alarm range too loosely, let’s say 0.5 nautical miles, you will need to
allow the automatic switching to the next destination waypoint to
occur, but you may then define a new course to the next waypoint
