11.1 Copy an existing route
You can use this to save time when you want to create a new route that is very similar to an existing route.
After you have copied the route, you can change the route name and the route details to create your new route.
To copy a route:
1. Display the Chart screen and the control panel. If you can't see the Waypoints Routes & Tracks button, select Return.
2. Select Waypoints Routes & Tracks.
3. Select Routes Library. The Routes Library box is displayed only on your Chart screen. It lists all the stored routes
4. Select the route you want to copy, then select Copy Route. The 8000i makes a copy of the route and adds it into the Routes Library with "Copy" added to the original route name.
5. If you want to change the route name or details now, select Edit on Chart.
6. When you are finished, select Return.
11.2 Create a new route
You can create a new route even when there's an active route or waypoint already on the Chart screen. You can pan or zoom the chart while you are creating a new route.
If you want to create a new route that is similar to an existing route, just copy the existing route (see "Copy an existing route" page 75).
To create a new route:
1. Display the Chart screen and the control panel. If you can't see the Create Route button, select Waypoints, Routes & Tracks.
2. Select Create Route.
3. The Share Waypoints button shows the current setting. Select the button if you want to toggle to the other setting. If it's:
On, when you create a new waypoint near to an existing waypoint the new waypoint will snap to the existing waypoint and be locked to the existing waypoint's position. However, each new waypoint at that location has a unique waypoint number.
Off, a new waypoint is located exactly where you choose.
4. If you want to create a new route using existing waypoints from the Waypoints Library, select Add Waypoint from List. The 8000i displays the Waypoints Library so that you can select a waypoint.
(Remember that only named waypoints are stored in the Waypoints Library.)
Otherwise, just select the position of the first waypoint on the Chart screen. The 8000i immediately draws a blue circle at this position.
5. Select the location for the second waypoint on the Chart screen. The 8000i marks this position with another blue circle, names it w2, and draws a line between the first and second waypoints.
6. Repeat this procedure until you have marked all the waypoints on your new route. (If you want to make changes to the new route, select Edit Route.)
7. When you are finished, select Finish. The 8000i immediately shows a summary of the new route in a Route Details box.
8. If you want to change the route name, select EDIT next to the route name then use the onscreen keyboard to enter the new name and select OK.
9. When you are finished, select Return or, if you want to follow the new route immediately, select Follow Now to make this the active route. The new route is stored in the Routes Library and shown in red on the Chart screen.
