route does not recalculate—if it recalculates, the
shape of the route is lost.

off your route when navigating a hiking route, you can
choose to have the bearing arrow point to the next
waypoint in your route (best when trying to get to the
next waypoint by the shortest distance) or point back
to the route (best if you want to follow a specic path).
Select Direct to Next Waypoint or Back on Course

the device uses to calculate a walking route. Press
ENTER and use the arrow keypad to make changes.

Create a Route
From the Routes Page, you can create a route to one point
or to multiple points from your current GPS position or
another location. At any time when viewing a geocache,
waypoint, or a Find search result, you can create a route
to it using the Route option on its details page.
To create a route from the current position
Current Position is the default start point for a route; this
is the current GPS location or the map cursor location
when panning the map or viewing another location.
Once you create a route, you can navigate with it or
view it on the map.
1. On the Routes Page, select New.
2. To use the default route name—the last point you
add to your route—go to step 3.
