Using Goto Routes
A GOTO route is simply a route with a start point and a single destination point: I
am here and I want to go to there. All that is required to create a GOTO route is
having the destination waypoint saved in memory. This waypoint can be one that
you have saved earlier (which is stored in your User Waypoint List) or any of the
landmarks that come with the SporTrak in its built-in database.
Creating a GOTO Route
Press GOTO. The first thing that has to be done is to select the destination
waypoint. This is done by accessing the waypoint database. The first screen is
used to select the category of the database that the waypoint is in and how it
will be found, alphabetically or nearest to your position, a city or the cursor.
Selecting a Destination Waypoint from Database using “Near Position”
Use the UP/DOWN arrows to highlight the category that your destination
waypoint is in. Use the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to select how the waypoints are
displayed, Alphabetical, Near Position, Near City or Near Cursor. In this case,
you will be using “Near Position”.
The example shown here is a sample of a City Waypoint List.
This is a sample of a Nearest City Waypoint list for Magellan.
Your screen will look different.
Use the UP/DOWN arrows to highlight your choice of
waypoint to be your destination and press [ENTER].
The GOTO route is now active and you are returned to the last
viewed navigation screen.
Selecting a Destination Waypoint from the Database using “Alphabetical”
Highlight any category other than User, and press the LEFT/
RIGHT arrows to select a Find By of “Alphabetical”. Press
[ENTER]. (In this example, Cities was selected and this is how
the screen appears.)
Using the arrow keys to navigate the displayed keyboard, begin
typing in the name of the waypoint (destination) you are
looking for.
For example, suppose your destination was to be Los Angeles. Use the keypad
to highlight the letter “L” and press [ENTER]. Notice how the name is
changed to the first city stored in the SporTrak’s memory that begins with the
