4. Follow (or Navigate) a Route
In GPS terms a Route is a group of linked Waypoints that the GPS can use to guide you from
one point to the next until you reach the destination.
Following a Route is considerably easier than the alternative of finding each
successive Waypoint, especially where the points are close together.
The Organisers will provide Routes for some sections of Peking to Paris.
Saved Routes are listed in Routes, reached from the Find screen.

Additional operating information
About Navigating a Route
A Route will usually be activated while you are close to the first Waypoint of the Route but
there are different situations.
If a Route is activated at a considerable distance from the start point the GPS will initially
guide you to the start of the Route.
If a Route is activated from a point some way along the line of the Route the GPS will pick
this up and guide you from the nearest point onwards.
