Routes 39RoutesThere are two types of routes that are commonly used in the Magellan Triton, Go To route and Multilegroute. A third type of route, Backtrack route, is also commonly used and is described in the chapteron Trails.A Go To route is the simplest route possible. It begins at your current location and goes to a singledestination you select. This is often referred to as a single leg route. An example would be you are atyour camp and want to go back to a scenic area you saved as a waypoint during your last hike. Youwould create a Go To route by selecting the waypoint for the scenic area as the destination. TheMagellan Triton would then plot a straight line from your location to the destination waypoint andprovide you with updated information as you travel to get you to your destination. As you hike, theMagellan Triton continuously updates the information giving you the best possible directions to getyou to your destination.A Multileg route is a series of Go To routes strung together. Using the same scenario as above, onlythis time you want to go to get supplies first and you know the position of a bridge you need to cross.For this route it would go from your current location, to the store, to the bridge and finally to thescenic spot. This multileg route consists of three Go To routes. Once the route is activated, theMagellan Triton will begin providing navigation information to get you to the store. After arriving atthe store it will automatically begin providing information to get you to the bridge, and then the scenicspot. Another useful feature of multileg routes is that they can be saved into memory and used overand over.Tip: If you want to save a single leg go to route into memory, use the Create Route function andcreate a route with one leg.Go To RoutesCreating a Go To Route Using the Pan CursorThis method provides you a way of looking at the map and moving the cursor to the point on themap you want to go to without requiring that you have latitude and longitude information for thedestination.1.
