# Using a computer:

You can navigate [using a computer](/xl-english-manual/xi.-navigation/using-a-computer.md) or [using the Syride App](/xl-english-manual/xi.-navigation/using-a-smartphone.md).

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.

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. Think about adding the indicators you wish to use (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.
