However, the route feature is more powerful because it is more automatic. When you reach one waypoint, the eTrex automatically guides you to the next waypoint on the route without needing to touch any buttons. When you use the `GOTO' feature you have to stop and select the next waypoint before you start moving. When you plan a trip, you can select waypoints from a waypoint list and put them into the eTrex's memory. At least 2 waypoints (up to a maximum of 50) are linked together to form a route. In the eTrex, a route is at least two waypoints that describe the path you are going to travel. The Route feature is very convenient because it allows the eTrex to guide you from the first waypoint in the route, to each successive waypoint until you reach your final destination. When you start your trip, you activate the route feature and the eTrex points the way you should travel to get from the first waypoint to the second. You can then use the Navigation page to give you steering guidance. TracBack, is discussed on page 28. The `ROUTE' feature is found on the `MENU' Page. You can use existing waypoints to `build' the route. 27 Reference Routes There are two ways to create a route: 1. Use existing waypoints that reside in the eTrex. Choose `ROUTE' on the `MENU' Page, then add a waypoint into the route from a list of available waypoints. Plan a `ROUTE' in MapSource® on a PC, and use "Save To Device" to download the `ROUTE' to the eTrex. See your Garmin dealer for more information on using MapSource (MapSource is an optional accessory, and is not included with the eTrex). You can insert a waypoint before an existing waypoint in the list or at the end of the waypoint list. In either case, you can navigate to a destination using `ROUTE' if a route has more than two waypoints. A single waypoint route is only a normal waypoint, not a route. The eTrex will not allow the `FOLLOW' button to be highlighted if there is only one waypoint in the route. When you select the `FOLLOW' button, a list with two items is displayed letting you choose where to go. The list will always show the FIRST (BEGINNING) and the LAST (END) waypoint in the route. The eTrex will guide you to the selected final destination following each waypoint in the route (the eTrex has one route). To create a route from the waypoints list: 1. Press the PAGE Button and switch to the `MENU' Page. Press the UP or DOWN Button and highlight `ROUTE'.
