Megamoe!
That will be a great help!
When we did the run on Friday I thought I had set my GPS to record the route - so I could save it for future trips. At the Adnoc Iguana pointed out that I had it on the wrong setting. All it had done was save the waypoints but not the route, so:
Q - how do I get it to save the route please?
Thanks,
Jax

hi Jax
all you have to do is
in the deflation point or any point you want to start navigate from do the following
1. double click on menu (the following screen will appear)
clear the active track by click on clear (the following massage will appear to you click on ok)
2. start navigation.
3. after you finish you navigation again double click on menu then tab to track (the following screen will show)
choice the save option
4. then this massage will appear
5. click yes to save the track.
6. then this screen will show
by using the arrow in this screen you can change the name of the track, color of the track, you have to highlight it and then press enter and change.
7. last step press on ok and then the track will be saved
i hope its clear to you now
