PC-created Routes
MapCreate is the easiest method for preparing a route, simply because
your PC's larger screen, keyboard and mouse are easier to manipulate
than the pocket-sized Atlas.
To load a MapCreate route into Atlas, follow instructions in MapCreate's
manual for creating a route and saving it as part of a GPS Data File (file
format *.usr). Copy the GPS Data File to an MMC and insert the MMC in
Atlas. (See Sec. 2 for instructions on installing MMCs. To load the GPS
Data File into Atlas memory, see the entry on Transferring GPS Data Files
between Atlas and a Computer in this section.)
Routes Created in Atlas
You can create a route by selecting existing waypoints from the waypoint
list or you can set a series of route waypoints on the map with cursor ar-
rows and the Enter key. In this example, we'll create a route from the map.
1. From the
NAVIGATION PAGE, press MENU|ENT or from the MAP PAGE, press
MENU|MENU|↓ to ROUTE PLANNING|ENT.
2. Press
ENT|↓ to (ROUTE END)|ENT|↓ to ADD FROM MAP|ENT. The Map Page
appears with the cursor showing.
3. Use the Zoom keys and arrow keys to move the map and cursor until
the cursor is centered on the spot where you want your route to begin. (If
you are starting at your current position or the current cursor position, you
are already at the starting spot.)
4. Set the first route waypoint: press
ENT. In this example we moved to the
intersection of 11th Street and 145th E. Ave. to start our route.
1. 2. 3.
Route creation sequence, from left: Fig. 1. Set route waypoint (1) at 11th St. &
145th Ave. Fig. 2. Zoom in; move cursor north to set point (2) at 145th & Ad-
miral. Fig. 3. With point (2) set, move cursor east to mark interstate on-ramp
with waypoint (3). In figures 2 and 3, notice the rubber band line extending
from the previously set waypoint to the cursor. This line will become the
course for the route.
