Using Routes

You can use routes for planning and measuring distances. Routes can also be uploaded from a PC, and they can be emailed.

To create a routes, click the Route toolbar button. The mark is now shown as a blue dot, and the Done button appears at the top of the screen. Click the map to create each waypoint in your route. Don't worry too much if the waypoints are not exactly where you want them. When you have finished creating the route, you can zoom in, select each waypoint and drag it to the precise location later. While you are creating the route, you can scroll and zoom the map, and change maps. When you have created all the waypoints, touch the Done button at the right of the toolbar.

As you create or edit the route, the total distance is displayed at the top of the screen.

When you click one of the waypoints in a route, the name of the waypoint and the distance and bearing from the previous waypoint are displayed. Right click on a waypoint to delete, insert or edit a waypoint, or delete or edit the route. If you insert at the last waypoint of the route, it allows you to continue adding wayponts to extend the route, until you touch the Done button.

It is easy to measure a distance and bearing with the Route tool. Create a route from the point you want to measure from.Click to place another point to place a waypoint. The distance and bearing are displayed just above the waypoint. When you are finished, you can press the delete or backspace key on the keyboard to Delete the route.

To see a list of your routes, click Overlays then the Routes category. Double-Clicking a route allows you to edit the name, comment, change the color, view it on the map or delete it.

To navigate along a route, right-click any waypoint, and select "Follow Route". Open the Live Data display to see the on-screen arrow pointer and navigation data, providing all the information you need to accurately follow the route.
