Creating Routes

A route gives you straight-line directions from one point to 

another, or from one point to several others. You can create a 
simple route by finding a waypoint and selecting ‘Go To’ (see “Find-
ing Places”). You can create more complex routes involving many 
points with the Routes Page.

To create a route:
1.  Press PAGE until you see the Main Menu Page. 

Use the ROCKER key to highlight Routes and 
press ENTER. Then press ENTER again to 
create a new route.

2.  Highlight ‘<Select Next Point>’ and press 

ENTER

 to add a point to your route. The Find 

Page appears.

3.  Find a waypoint or other point to add to your 

route (see “Finding Places”). When you have 
found a point, select ‘Use’ from the Point 
Information Page to add the point to your 
route.

4.  Repeat steps 2 and 3 to add more points to 

your route. When you are finished adding 
points, highlight ‘Navigate’ and press ENTER 
to begin using the route.

Marking a Waypoint

A waypoint is any point on the Map Page that you store 

in memory. You can mark (create) a waypoint at your current 
location, name the waypoint, and save it to use in a route (see 
“Creating Routes”).

To mark a waypoint:
1.  From the Map Page, press MARK. The 

Mark Waypoint page appears.

2.  To name the waypoint, use the 

ROCKER

 key to highlight the ‘Name’ 

field and press ENTER.

3.  Enter a name for the waypoint on the 

keyboard using the ROCKER key and 
the ENTER key (see “Entering Data” 
on the previous panel).

4.  Highlight ‘OK’ and press ENTER to 

save the waypoint.

Creating and Viewing Tracks

Tracks are like little footprints—they show you exactly where 

you have moved. Tracks appear as a small dotted line on the Map 
Page. Your GPS 60 automatically creates tracks as you move and 
displays the dotted line, called a track log.

To view tracks:
1.  Press the PAGE key until you see the Map 

Page.

2.  Walk away from your present location for 

at least three minutes.

3.  Press IN to zoom in on the Map Page until 

you can see your track log. 

Finding Places

Using the Find Page, you can search for waypoints, geocache 

points, or cities. If you load optional MapSource® Points of Interest 
data on your GPS 60, you can search for restaurants, lodging, exits, 
services, and more.

To find a waypoint:
1.  Press the FIND key. The Find Page appears. 

Highlight ‘Waypoints’ and press ENTER.

2.  Use the ROCKER key to scroll down the 

list and highlight the waypoint you want to 
find. Press ENTER to select the waypoint. 
The Waypoint Information Page appears.

3.  Use the ROCKER key to highlight ‘Map’ 

and press ENTER if you want to view the 
waypoint on the map. Select ‘Go To’ to 
begin navigation (see “Creating Routes”).
