Didn't understand the second bit but never mind! There's a clue in my username.
I'm grateful for the reply. Cheers.
Yes that was not very clear in reply.
What am I trying to say.....rather than making a prepared route constructed on my Memory Map or with the software provided with the Garmin device. Instead of a route with all the 'map furniture' that comes with it I just put my curser thing onto the on-screen map for a waypoint then send it via the GPS dropdown thing to the Garmin.
With several of these Waypoints ( eg Spot heights, path junctions etc.) stored away in the device, in the waypoint manager, I have a workable route to use when on the hill.
The great thing about the Waypoint Manager is that it shuffles/sorts? the coordinates into the order nearest first.
I don't leave them in the WM as a numeric label but I edit it through WM and give it a alpha label and also add some further info in the Notes section. My 'on the table' preparation prior to a walk.
When I arrive at the area for the walk switch on and get into WP Manager, bring up the desired waypoint, and if required, get into map/compass/Go at the bottom of the page that has the waypoint data.
