Garmin GPS 48 - Manual (Page 42)

Selecting a GOTO Destination
The GPS 48 provides four ways to navigate to a des-
tination: GOTO, MOB, TracBack, and route navigation.
The most basic method of selecting a destination is the
GOTO function, which lets you choose any stored way-
point as the destination and quickly sets a direct course
from your present position.
To activate the GOTO function:
1. Press
G
.
2. Select the waypoint you want to navigate to, and press
E
.
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
G
key.
2. Highlight ‘CANCEL GOTO?’, and press
E
.
Man Overboard Function
The GPS 48’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
G
twice. The GOTO waypoint page will
appear with ‘MOB’ selected.
2 Press
E
to begin MOB navigation.
The GPS 48 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.
GOTO
REFERENCE

Select a destination way-
point 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 over-
write the previous MOB
waypoint.
