A sequential route is a type of route following.
This means you must arrive near each waypoint when you are traveling
your route. waypoint 1, then 2, then 3. no matter if waypoint 3 is
closer to you then waypoint 2, you must travel to waypoint two first.
if sequential route following was turned off, and you were walking the
above route you'd skip waypoint 2 as you are now closer to waypoint 3.




Here's a short quote from the Sendero GPS manual, ignore the
keystrokes, but the information is still the same.


Default is off. Before following a route that may wrap back around
itself. As in
a circular route or one with hair pin turns, switch to the "Follow
Sequential Route"
by pressing
R, then M, then F
. This ensures that Waypoints will be announced in numeric order. No
points will be skipped or triggered even if they are closer to you
than the next numeric point.
This is particularly useful for manually created routes which are far
more likely
to meander - for example a route that goes North on the left side of
the street for 3 blocks then back South on the opposite side of the
same street.
Route Following Mode: R, M, M

Hope this makes sense.
