I'm still finding my way around SD, so please excuse if this is bleedin' obvious.
Let's say I'm planning a flight from Carlisle to Bagby (as it happens, I am). There are two entirely feasible routes, one of which goes over high ground and might not be possible due to low cloud and the other via the Hexham gap, which is longer but can be done in poorer WX.
I can't seem to find a way to load BOTH routes into my 296 GPS. There seems to be no way to give the two routes different names and so any change I make simply overwrites the original route. I've fixed the problem for the time being by starting the alternative route from a different airfield and then routing it via Carlisle but that is a bit of a kludge - there has to be a better way!
Grateful for any pointers as to what I am doing wrong.
John.
