Routes

The last way to navigate to a destination is to create a user-defined

route. The GPSMAP 192C allows you to create and store up to 50

reversible routes (numbered 1-50), with up to 254 waypoints each.

Routes can be created and modified in two ways. The first method

is to create the route using a map page. This method allows you to

select points on the map and see each route leg as it is created. The

second method is to enter the waypoint names as text on the Route

Review page. This method allows you to see a list of the waypoints

as you create the route. All of the route functions are accessed

through the Main Menu page or the NAV key.

Route Tab and Route Options Menu

To create a route using the Route Edit Map page:

1. Press

MENU twice to display the Main Menu page.

2. Use the

ROCKER to highlight the Route tab and press the

MENU key to display the route options page, or highlight the

first available blank route slot, and press

ENTER. (Skip to

step 4 if you use this method.)

3. Select the

New Route option, and press ENTER.

4. To add an existing waypoint or map item to the route, use

the pointer to select the waypoint or map item, and press

ENTER. Map items do not appear in the waypoint list. To

create a waypoint from a map item, see page

21

.

5. To add a new waypoint to the route, use the map pointer to

select the map location, and press

ENTER. Press ENTER

again to confirm the new waypoint. You can also change the

name and symbol of the new waypoint (see page

8

).

As you add each new waypoint to the route, the data

window at the top of the map display shows the waypoint/

map item name, bearing and distance from your location,

and coordinates of the pointer. The bottom of the display

shows the number of available and used points. A route line

appears on the map to indicate each completed leg, and a

dotted line appears indicating the distance and bearing to

the arrow pointer from the last route waypoint.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have finished defining all

route waypoints.
