Selecting a GOTO Destination The GPS 12XL provides four ways to navigate to a destination: GOTO, MOB, TracBack, and route navigation. The most basic method of selecting a destination is the GOTO function, which lets you choose any stored waypoint as the destination and quickly sets a direct course from your present position. To activate the GOTO function: 1. Press . 2. Select the waypoint you want to navigate to, and press . Once a GOTO waypoint has been activated, the Compass Page or Highway Page will provide steering guidance to the destination until either the GOTO is cancelled or the unit has resumed navigating the active route (see pg 30). To cancel an active GOTO: 1. Press the key. 2. Highlight 'CANCELGOTO?', and press . Selecting a City as Your Destination The GPS 12XL also features a built-in database of city locations. You can quickly select any one of these locations as your destination waypoint, using the Find City feature. Once selected, the GPS 12XL will create a waypoint named after the city and place it in user waypoint memory. To select a city as your destination: 1. Highlight 'FIND CITY?' and press . Then follow the GOTO steps for the find city page (described on pages 40-42). Man Overboard Function The GPS 12XL's man overboard function (MOB) lets you simultaneously mark and set a course to a position for quick response to passing positions. To activate the MOB mode: 1. Press twice. The GOTO waypoint page will appear with 'MOB' selected. 2 Press to begin MOB navigation. The GPS 12XL will now guide you to the MOB waypoint until the MOB GOTO is cancelled. If you want to save the MOB waypoint, be sure to rename it because it will be overwritten the next time a MOB is activated. REFERENCE GOTO & MOB Functions Select a destination waypoint from the GOTO waypoint list. Once the MOB mode has been activated, steering guidance will be provided by the Compass or Highway Page. Activating another MOB will overwrite the previous MOB waypoint. 23

Selecting a GOTO Destination
The GPS 12XL provides four ways to navigate to a
destination: GOTO, MOB, TracBack, and route naviga-
tion. The most basic method of selecting a destination
is the GOTO function, which lets you choose any
stored waypoint as the destination and quickly sets a
direct course from your present position.
To activate the GOTO function:
1. Press
.
2. Select the waypoint you want to navigate to, and
press
.
Once a GOTO waypoint has been activated, the
Compass Page or Highway Page will provide steering
guidance to the destination until either the GOTO is
cancelled or the unit has resumed navigating the active
route (see pg 30).
To cancel an active GOTO:
1. Press the
key.
2. Highlight ‘CANCELGOTO?’, and press
.
Selecting a City as Your Destination
The GPS 12XL also features a built-in database of
city locations. You can quickly select any one of these
locations as your destination waypoint, using the Find
City feature. Once selected, the GPS 12XL will create a
waypoint named after the city and place it in user way-
point memory.
To select a city as your destination:
1. Highlight ‘FIND CITY?’ and press
. Then follow
the GOTO steps for the find city page (described on
pages 40-42).
Man Overboard Function
The GPS 12XL’s man overboard function (MOB) lets
you simultaneously mark and set a course to a position
for quick response to passing positions.
To activate the MOB mode:
1. Press
twice. The GOTO waypoint page will
appear with ‘MOB’ selected.
2 Press
to begin MOB navigation.
The GPS 12XL will now guide you to the MOB way-
point until the MOB GOTO is cancelled. If you want to
save the MOB waypoint, be sure to rename it because it
will be overwritten the next time a MOB is activated.
