Reference Creating a GOTO Route - Creates and sets as the active route a 1-leg route with your present position as the starting point and a destination waypoint that you choose from the waypoint database. From Any Screen GOTO If a GOTO route already exists, you will be asked to clear it. Select Waypoint Category Use left/right ENTER arrows to select "Find By" Select Waypoint from List ENTER GOTO routes are not saved in memory. When you turn your Meridian off and then back on, the GOTO route is gone. You need to create a new GOTO route if you intend on completing the route. Also note that when you are selecting the Waypoint Category you are being instructed to select the "Find By". You can select only those waypoints in your general vicinity (Nearest) or all of the waypoints in the category in alphabetical order (Alphabetical). Creating a Backtrack Route - Creates a route using track information stored in the Meridian to "retrace" your steps. A good example of using a backtrack would be if you were out hiking or jogging with your Meridian turned on and computing position fixes. After 30 minutes you choose to return to where you started, following the same route you just took. All you need do is follow the instructions below and let the Meridian take you there.
