Creating a Route

The last way to navigate to a destination is to create a user-deﬁ ned route. The Garmin GPSMAP

188/188C/238 Sounder lets you create and store up to 50 reversible routes (numbered 1-50), with up

to 254 waypoints each. Routes can be created in two ways. The ﬁ rst way is by selecting points from

the Map Page, allowing you to see each route graphically on-screen as you create the route. The second

way is to select waypoints from the Find menu, allowing you to see a list of the route points as you

create the route. To create a route, start by accessing the Main Menu.

To create a route graphically:

1. Press the MENU key twice to display the Main Menu page. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight

the ‘Route’ tab.

2. Press the MENU key to display the route options page. Select ‘New Route’ and press ENTER.

Or, highlight the ﬁ rst available blank slot in the Route List and press ENTER.

3. To add an existing waypoint or map item to the route, use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight

the desired waypoint or map item on screen and press ENTER. Map items will not appear in the

waypoint list. To create a waypoint from a map item, see page 45.

4. To add a new waypoint to the route, use the map cursor to select the desired map position and

press ENTER. Press ENTER again to conﬁ rm the new waypoint. You may also change the name,

symbol and other properties of the new waypoint (see pages 48-49).

As you add each new waypoint to the route, the data window at the top of the map display will

show the waypoint/map item name, bearing and distance from your location, and coordinates of

the cursor. The bottom of the display will show you the number of available and used points. A

route line appears on the map to indicate each completed leg, and a dotted line appears to indicate

the distance and bearing to the arrow cursor from the last route waypoint.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have ﬁ nished deﬁ ning all route waypoints.

6. When ﬁ nished press QUIT twice to return to the Route List page; or press MENU, highlight ‘Edit as

Text’ and press ENTER to return to the Route Review page.
