Routes
The last way to navigate to a destination is to create a user-defi ned route. The GARMIN GPSMAP
168 Sounder system lets you create and store up to 20 reversible routes, with up to 30 waypoints
each. Routes can be created and modifi ed in two ways. The fi rst way is to ‘Edit as Text’ from the Route
Review Page, allowing you to see a list of the waypoints as you create, review, or modify the route. The
second way is from the ‘Edit on Map’ from the Route Edit Map Page, allowing you to see each route
graphically on-screen as you create, review, or modify the route. All of the GPSMAP 168 Sounder’s
route functions are accessed through the Main Menu Page or the NAV/MOB key.
To create a route using text from the Route Review Page:
1. Press the MENU key twice to display the Main Menu Page.
2. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘Route’ tab and press the MENU key to display the
route options menu.
3. Select the ‘New Route’ option and press ENTER/MARK.
4. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the fi rst empty fi eld under the word ‘Waypoint’ and press
ENTER/MARK. This will display the Find menu
5. From the Find menu (see sidebar) , you can select a point from the available options. The options
that are available may be different depending on the MapSource data that is loaded in the unit.
6. Keep using the methods on steps 4 and 5 until the desired route points have been entered. Press
QUIT to return to the Route List Page.
The Find Menu catagories can vary depending on the Mapsource
data that is currently loaded in the unit. ‘Waypoints’, ‘Cities’, ‘Tide
Stations’ and ‘Transportation’ will always be available.To select a
point, highlight a catagory then press ENTER to display the selec-
tions for that catagory.
Waypoints can be selected ‘By Name’ or ‘Nearest’ , by selecting
the desired tab. If ‘Cities’ is selected, a list of cities nearest to the
current GPS location will be displayed. Pressing the MENU key will
display other selection options. For information on selecting Tide
Stations, see page 81.
