Creating a New Route
There are several methods to create a route. Press
MENU twice and select Routes. Highlight the New
button on the Routes page and press ENTER. A blank
Route page is displayed. Press MENU to display the
Create Route Options. Place the points in the route in
the order that you wish to navigate.
Use Map—displays the Map page with the Map
Pointer active. You can now point at any location or
point on the map and enter it into the route.
When using the map to create a route, you can select
an existing User Waypoint/Map Feature, or you can
create a new waypoint. New waypoints are created
if you place the Map Pointer on a location that is not
a Map Feature. A new waypoint is stored in the User
Waypoint List and can be edited as any other User
Waypoint. When placing a new waypoint in a route,
you have to press ENTER to create the waypoint,
ENTER to save the waypoint, and ENTER a final
time to insert it into the route.
If you place the Map Pointer on a Map Feature, such
as a road, park, or intersection, the GPSMAP 76 stores
that location only to the route using the feature name
as a reference. These points are not stored in the User
Waypoint List. To save a Map Feature Point as a User
Waypoint, highlight the point in the route and press
ENTER. The Information page is now displayed. Press
MENU and select Save as Waypoint.
