Using Routes

Creating and Using a Route

With routes, you can create a sequence of intermediate waypoints that

lead you to your final destination. The GPSmap 60 stores 50 routes, with

up to 250 waypoints each. A route can be created and modified from the

Routes Page, and waypoints can be added to a route from the Find Menu.

More complex routes can be created using a PC and MapSource mapping

programs and then transferred to the unit memory.

To create and save a route:

1. Access the “Routes” page from the Main Menu. The page has a

“New” button, an “Active” button and a list of saved routes.

2. Use the ROCKER key to highlight the “New” button and press
ENTER to display the route Setup Page.
3. With an empty row (dashed) in the route list highlighted, press

ENTER to display the Find Menu.

4. Use the Find Menu to select a route waypoint from one of the

Find Menu groups and display the Information Page for the

selected waypoint, city, exit, point of interest, etc. Highlight the

on-screen “Use” button and press ENTER to place it on the

Route Waypoint List.

5. To add more waypoints to the route, repeat the process in Steps

3 and 4. You can rename the route if desired.

6. Press PAGE to save it to the Saved Routes list, or highlight the

“Navigate” button and press ENTER to navigate.
