7. When you're done, to go back to the NEW ROUTE screen
to see all of the route's waypoints, press the RETURN
menu key, or to display the CHART screen, press the
CHART key .
To create a route from a list of existing waypoints:
1. Press the WAYPTS/ROUTES key, then press the ROUTES
menu key.
2. At the ROUTES screen, press the NEW menu key to dis-
play the NEW ROUTE screen.
3. Enter the name of the route using the KEYPAD and CUR-
SOR PAD.
4. If the USE LIST menu key is displayed, press it to change
from chart-based editing to list-based editing.
5. Press the ENTER key.
6. At the NEW ROUTE screen, press the INSERT menu key.
The SELECT WAYPT screen appears, which lists all of your
stored waypoints. If you want to switch between the
LOCAL and ALPHA lists, press the NEXT VIEW key.
7. Move the cursor to select the desired waypoint, then press
the ENTER key to place the waypoint in your route.
8. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 until your new route is complete. To
see the route on the CHART screen at any time, press the
CHART menu key; once there, to return to the NEW
ROUTE screen, press the RETURN menu key.
Another way to create a route is to travel the length of the
desired route, pressing the SAVE key at each waypoint you
want to store in the route. The 958's save-route function
makes this a very simple process: First, you tell the 958 that
you want to save a route as you travel, then you press the
SAVE key as you pass each waypoint, then you tell the 958 to
stop saving the route when you reach the end of the route.
