The GPS III+ can navigate to a destination using any of four different methods: GOTO- lets you select a waypoint as your destination and quickly plot a direct course from present position to that waypoint. MOB (man overboard)- captures your present position, saves it as a waypoint and sets a course back to the position for quick response in an emergency. TracBack- allows you to retrace your path using the track log automatically stored in the receiver's memory. This eliminates the need to store waypoints along the way. (See page 58 for more information about TracBack.) Routes- allows you to manually create a sequence of intermediate waypoints which lead you to your final destination. The GPS III+ will store up to 20 reversible routes, with up to 30 waypoints in each route. GOTO Navigation The easiest way to select your destination is by using the GOTO key. The GOTO key can be used by itself, after highlighting a waypoint name on a list, or after designating a position on the map display. To GOTO a waypoint: 1. Press GOTO. The GOTO Page shows a series of file tabs for 'Recent' waypoints, 'All' waypoints, 'Nearest' waypoints or 'Spell n Find'. 2. To GOTO a recently used waypoint or a nearby waypoint, select the 'Recent' tab or the 'Nearest' tab, highlight the desired waypoint on the list and press ENTER. 3. To GOTO any waypoint stored in memory, select the 'All' tab, highlight the desired waypoint and press ENTER. 4. To enter the name of the destination waypoint, highlight the waypoint name field and press ENTER. (The 'Spell n Find' tab is automatically selected.) Use the rocker keypad to enter the name of the desired waypoint-UP/DOWN to change each character and RIGHT to move to the next character. Press ENTER to confirm the selection. REFERENCE Navigation / GOTO To GOTO a waypoint, press GOTO and select the desired tab. Highlight the waypoint name field at the top of the page to spell the name of the desired destination waypoint. Press ENTER and use the rocker keypad to enter the identifier of the destination waypoint. Press ENTER again to confirm the waypoint and begin navigation. 55
