The GPS 120’s route navigation feature lets

you plan and navigate a course from one place

to another using a set of pre-detined waypoints.

Routes are often used when it’s not practical, safe

or possible to navigate a direct course to a particu­

lar destination.

Routes are broken down and navigated in

smaller segments called legs’. The waypoint you

are going to in a leg is called the ‘active to’ way­

point, and the waypoint immediately behind

you is called the ‘active from’ waypoint. The line

between the ‘active to’ and the ‘active from’ way-
point is called the 'active leg’.

When you activate a route with the GPS 120, it

will automatically select the route leg closest to

your position as the active leg. As you pass a way-

point in your route, the unit will select the next

waypoint as the ‘active to’ waypoint.
