  • Navigation mode: Select one of three options:-
    • All points must be completed in sequence - the order of the points listed below is the order in which they must be executed. No exceptions.
    • Points will be completed in sequence, but can be skipped - the order of the points below is the order in which they must be executed but points can be skipped. You cannot go back to complete a missed point.
