Garmin GPS: route management when the start is also a
waypoint of the course
Cliquez ici pour la version française
The informations of this page are valid for the following Garmin
GPS:
GPSmap 60CSx
GPSmap 76CSx
Sometimes, the defined course commes back to the
start (as D90122 below) before to continue. When the route is
set in the device, select [Navigate]
to activate it.
The device automatically selects the waypoint following the
last pass at the start, as B46118 below, which the corresponding icon
is blinking.
To not input D90122 at the beginning of the route give the same effect.
What is expected: the second waypoint has to be selected, as B58084 in this
case. How to do that?
The principle is to manually change the active waypoint:
1. switch the transition mode to manual
2. modify the active waypoint
3. switch the transition mode back to distance
Below, the details of these operations:
From the above screen, press [PAGE],
then select [Routes] to show
the routes list
Press [MENU] and select [Off
Road Transition...]
![menu [Off Road Transition...]](web/garmin3en.jpg)
Select [Manual] in [Route
Leg Transition]
Press [PAGE] then select [Routes]
then select [Active]
Press as many times as necessary on the button [IN]
(move up in the list) or on the button [OUT]
(move down in the list) to select the second waypoint
For this operation, no waypoint must be selected (highlighted in
yellow).
Press [PAGE], then select [Routes]
to show the routes list
Press [MENU] and select [Off Road Transition...]
Select [Distance] in [Route
Leg Transition]
Now, you are all set to complete the course in the order defined. Thanks to
Laurent for his help.
