May have solved my #1 problem. When setting up the "way list" for
planning purposes, one needs to be in the "Route planning" mode not
"Nav' mode.

Hello Fellow Pilots.

I recently purchased a used GPS unit and reading through the manual.
Still have some basic problems how to develope a Way List and then
setting up a Route from it. I tend to get lost in the flowchart. Does
anyone have a simplified list of steps which may help me along? Thanks.
