Navigating to a Destination
Using the NAV key, the GPSMAP 3005C provides four ways to navigate to a
destination: Go To Point, Follow Track, TracBack, and Follow Route. When you
are navigating, you see a straight line on the Map Page that always runs from your
current location to the destination. The easiest method for selecting a destination
is the Go To function, which allows you to select a destination point and then set
a direct course to it from your present location. If you highlight a point on a list
or the map and press NAV, Go To <point name> appears in addition to Go To
Point. The Go To function can be accessed from any list of points or graphically
from the map display.

Navigating to a Destination
To Go To a point:
1. Press NAV.
2. Highlight Go To Point, and press ENTER. The Find From Current Position
Page opens.
3. Highlight Waypoints, and press ENTER. (You can also choose to go to
other points from this list, such as cities or tide stations.)
4. Select a waypoint from the By Name or Nearest tab list, and press
ENTER to open the Review Waypoint Page for the selected waypoint.
5. Press the Go To soft key to begin navigation. A magenta line appears on
the map display showing the course from your current location to the
Go To point.
To stop navigation:
1. Press NAV.
2. Highlight Stop Navigation, and press ENTER.
Selecting a Map Item Go To Destination
A map item Go To can be used to select one of three items from the map
display—an existing waypoint, on-screen map items such as rivers, cities,
navaids, or a new map point. If you select a map item as the Go To destination,
the GPSMAP 3005C automatically uses the name of the map item, but the point
is not stored in the waypoint list. If you select a new map point (non-map item)
as the Go To destination, the GPSMAP 3005C automatically creates a waypoint
named MAP at the pointer location.
To Go To an existing waypoint or map item from the map display:
1. Use the ROCKER to highlight the waypoint or map item you want to
navigate to on the Map Page, and press NAV.
2. On the Navigation menu, highlight Go To <waypoint name>, and press
ENTER.
