Routes

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

route. The GPSMAP 182/182C 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. You to see a list of the waypoints as

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

the Main Menu 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.

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.
