3. If you NAME a route, use the trackpad to move the cursor right or left to the

Editing a Route

Once you have created a route, you can edit it using the Waypoint List as
described in Creating a New Route on page 5-19, or using the context-
sensitive cursor to:

Insert a Waypoint into the route

Add waypoints at the end of the route

Remove a Waypoint

Reverse a Route

Move a Waypoint as described in Moving a Waypoint on page 5-14.

Any changes you make to the route, except move a waypoint, 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 way-

point. 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 opera-
tion.

The new waypoint is temporarily added to the waypoint list and named with
the first available waypoint number. The waypoints in the current route are re-
numbered to identify the new positions.

Note: If you Clear the route before it is Saved, the new waypoint is removed.
