Press when route is nished, unless you have
‘closed’ the route.
If there is an SD card in the unit and it is not
write-protected, by default the route will go
into the SD Card folder. If there is no SD card
in the unit, by default the route will go into the
Internal Storage folder.
You can create route folders using SatSYNC
(section 8.04). To create a new route in an
existing folder, you will need to select the
folder in the Routes Menu and press Create
New Route from there.
Note: Folders are only visible if they contain a
minimum of one route or OOI.
The Add Waypoint button has 3 functions:
1. To add a waypoint.
2. To click on an existing waypoint and drag it
to another location.
3. To close the route (i.e. connect the last
waypoint to the start point) if the last
waypoint is very close to the start waypoint.
The center cross turns green inside the
orange location icon when you are on the
CREATE ROUTE screen to indicate you are
ready to add waypoints. Place waypoints
wherever your planned route changes
direction. Waypoints are shown as green
dots. As waypoints are laid down, a yellow/
blue highlighted route is created. To remove
waypoints, position the green cross over a
waypoint and press the Remove Waypoint
button.
