In an actual emergency you could instantly plot a course to a nearest
waypoint by highlighting the desired waypoint (using the arrow keys),
pressing GOTO and ENT. The GPS 95 would override the route and provide
navigation information to direct you to the selected waypoint.

Experiment with your GPS 95!

· Now that you have started on a trip to the Dry Tortugas, why don't you

take some time to experiment with the GPS 95? Press each function
key to get familiar with the available pages. Examine the Active Route
Page and the Navigation Summary Page as the simulation progresses.
If you want, change the simulation speed. You won't break the GPS
95 even if you enter a speed of 999 knots.

· As you progress through the simulation, the GPS 95 will alert you with

a message when you are within one minute of reaching the Dry
Tortugas. When passing DRYTG, the GPS 95 will automatically
sequence to the next waypoint, KEYW.

· At some point during the simulation you may wish to try the GOTO

function. Suppose severe weather was reported in the Dry Tortugas
area. You wish to shorten your trip by heading directly to Key West.
Simply press the GOTO key and enter KEYW. The GPS 95 will set an
instantaneous course and you are on your way to Key West.

· If you have not customized your unit, this may be a good time to review

Chapter 8 for information concerning custom settings. Doing so will
help you understand what each setting will do.

· If you wish to stop the simulation, simply turn the GPS 95 off. We

recommend that you delete the route and waypoint created in this
simulation prior to using your unit again. (See Section 3.3 for
information on deleting waypoints and Section 6.5 for information on
deleting routes.)
