Garmin GPS III Plus - Manual (Page 25)

Once you’ve stored a waypoint in memory, you can use the GPS III+ to guide you
to it by using the GOTO feature. A GOTO is really nothing more than a straight-line
course from your present position to the destination you’ve selected. A GOTO can
be performed several ways: by specifying the destination from the GOTO Page,
graphically from the map display or by highlighting the waypoint name on any page
(such as from one the 'Nearest' lists).
To select a GOTO destination from the GOTO Page:
1. Press GOTO. This captures your current position as the starting point for your trip.
2. Highlight the ‘All’ tab, using the rocker keypad, to list all waypoints currently stored
in memory.
3. Highlight the desired waypoint, using the rocker keypad, and press ENTER.
To select a GOTO destination from the Map Page:
1. With the Map Page displayed, use the rocker keypad to place the cursor over the
desired destination waypoint. (If no waypoint exists at the destination location, the GPS
III+ will automatically create one, named ‘MAP’ in the step below.)
2. Press GOTO, and then ENTER to navigate to the selected location.
To GOTO a listed point on the Nearest Waypoints, Nearest Cities, Nearest
Exits, or Nearest Geo Points Lists:
1. With the Nearest Waypoints, Cities, Exits, or Geo Points tab highlighted (see pages 53
and 55), use the rocker keypad to highlight the desired point.
2. Press GOTO, and then ENTER to navigate to the selected location.
Once the GOTO destination is selected, use the Map Page, Compass Page and/or
Highway Page to keep track of your progress as you head toward your destination.
To select a destination from
all waypoints stored in memo-
ry, highlight the ‘All’ tab, then
select the desired waypoint and
press ENTER.
To GOTO one of the listed
‘Nearest’ cities, highlight the
desired city, press GOTO and
then ENTER. A new waypoint
will be created using the city
name. Cities with names lon-
ger than six characters will
be abbreviated.
