If the receiver is not tracking sufficient satellites to compute a position fix, the start of the newly created GOTO route will be the last position computed, which may not be the current position. This GOTO route will remain the active route until a new GOTO route is created, a multileg route is activated, or the receiver is turned off. Turning off the receiver deactivates any GOTO route. Summary This completes the basic operation of the GPS 300. At this time it would be a good idea to put what you know to practice. Pick a location that you would want to come back to, your home for example. Take a position fix of the location and save it to memory, giving it a name that you will later associate with this location. Then travel a few miles away with your receiver, stop and take another position fix. Now use the GOTO key to set a GOTO route and highlight the landmark you created before and press ENTER. Your GPS 300 is ready to navigate you back to where you started. The navigation screens are now showing you the distance and bearing back to the original landmark. As you begin moving, the GPS 300 will begin using your speed and direction to compute the shortest distance back to your original starting point as well as how long it will take you to get there. The following chapters provide you with more information on using your GPS 300 that build upon what you've learned. 14

If the receiver is not tracking sufficient satellites to
compute a position fix, the start of the newly created
GOTO route will be the last position computed,
which may not be the current position.
This GOTO route will remain the active route until a new
GOTO route is created, a multileg route is activated, or the
receiver is turned off.
Turning off the receiver deactivates
any GOTO route.
Summary
This completes the basic operation of the GPS 300.
At this
time it would be a good idea to put what you know to
practice.
Pick a location that you would want to come back
to, your home for example.
Take a position fix of the location
and save it to memory, giving it a name that you will later
associate with this location.
Then travel a few miles away with
your receiver, stop and take another position fix.
Now use the
GOTO key to set a GOTO route and highlight the landmark
you created before and press ENTER.
Your GPS 300 is ready to navigate you back to where you
started.
The navigation screens are now showing you the
distance and bearing back to the original landmark.
As you
begin moving, the GPS 300 will begin using your speed and
direction to compute the shortest distance back to your
original starting point as well as how long it will take you to
get there.
The following chapters provide you with more information on
using your GPS 300 that build upon what you’ve learned.
