Editing a Route
Once you have created a route, you can edit it by:
• Inserting a Waypoint into the route
• Adding waypoints at the end of the route
• Removing a Waypoint
• Reversing a Route
• Moving a Waypoint as described in Section 5.3
Any changes you make to the route affect only the current route. The current
route is always held in position 0 in the database, so you need to Save the route
if you want to keep the changes.
Inserting a Waypoint into a Route
You can use the context-sensitive cursor to insert one or more waypoints in the
current route. However, if the route is being followed you cannot insert a
waypoint into the current leg.
➤ To insert a new waypoint in the current route:
1. Move the cursor over the route leg into which you wish to insert a
waypoint. The letters RTE and the route leg data box are displayed. The
Route soft keys are displayed.
2. Press ENTER. The cursor changes to a four-way arrow, controlling a new
waypoint. The waypoint is connected to the existing waypoints on either
side with a dashed line.
3. Move the new waypoint to the required position, and press ENTER to drop
it and return to normal cursor operation, or CLEAR to abandon the
operation.
