# XII.	Navigation

To create a navigation route, the easiest way is to use our online **« Route maker »** tool. Simple, quick and efficient, it ables you to build a route in a few secondes.

To build a route with the **« Route maker »**:

1. Go to <http://www.syride.com/en/route>
2. Build your route in a few clicks and then download it to your computer.&#x20;

5. Select the route file you’ve downloaded before.
6. To activate the route in your instrument, go on the the **Navigation menu** in the Nav, then **« Load a route »**.                                                                                                                                                                   The route will show on the MAP screen. <mark style="color:red;">**Think about adding the indicators you wish to use**</mark> (e.g. *Waypoint information*) to your screen configuration **(cf IX. Customize your screens)**.
7. To skip a waypoint without reaching it, you can push the central button until the sound signal.&#x20;

You can build a route from your instrument as well:

1\)      You first need to have some waypoints in your instrument. Create a waypoint on the Nav, with menu **“Navigation”** (screen 7), then **“Create waypoint”.** The instrument will ask for a waypoint name, GPS coordinate, and altitude (optional).                                                                                                                   If you already have a waypoint file, you can upload it to your instrument with the SYS PC Tool (**« Send a file to my instrument »** icon). The SYS PC Tool only accept **OziExplorer** file format.&#x20;

2\)      Then from the Nav, go to the **"Navigation menu"**, then **« Create route »:**

\-         First, name your route.

\-         When selecting the first waypoint, you can choose between 3 modes: **« Waypoint »** (a simple waypoint), **« START IN »** and **« START OUT »** where a start time must be given.

\-         When selecting the waypoint, you can setup a radius (set to 400m by default, according to FAI rules), as well as a minimum altitude.

\-         Add several waypoints if needed.

\-         You can select a **« GOAL CYLINDER »** or a **« GOAL LINE »** for the last waypoint.

\-         Or select **« END ROUTE »** if you want to end your route with a simple waypoint.
