Saving a route as you travel
Another way to create a route is to travel the length of the
desired route, pressing the  key at each waypoint
you want to store in the route. The unit's save-route function
makes this a very simple process. In summary, you first tell the
unit that you want to save a route as you travel, then press the
 key as you pass each waypoint, and then tell the
unit to stop saving the route when you come to the end of the
route.
To begin saving a route as you travel:
1. Press the  key, and then press the
 menu key to access route functions. The
ROUTES screen is displayed:
