Garmin GPS 120XL - Manual (Page 17)

Going To a Waypoint
Once you’ve stored the “CHANNL” waypoint in
memory, you can use the GPS 120XL to guide you to it
by performing a simple GOTO. A GOTO is nothing
more than a straight-line course from your present
position to the destination you’ve selected.
Use caution when navigating. A “straight-line”
course reflects the shortest distance to a waypoint,
and does not navigate around obstructions, such
as land or buoys, etc.
Now that you have moved away from ‘CHANNL’
for three minutes, let’s try navigating back to it.
To select a GOTO destination:
1. Press the G key.
2. The GOTO waypoint page will appear, displaying all
the waypoints in memory in alphabetical order.
3. Use
U
or
D
to highlight the ‘CHANNL’ waypoint.
4. Press the F key to confirm that you want to navi-
gate to the displayed waypoint. The Highway Page
(default) will appear.
The GPS 120XL’s Highway Page provides graphic
steering guidance to a destination, with an emphasis on
a straight-line course to the desired waypoint and the
distance and direction you are off course. The bearing
and distance to a waypoint, along with your current
track and speed are displayed at the top of the screen,
with your estimated time enroute (ETE) and velocity
made good (VMG), or the speed you are approaching
your destination, shown at the bottom.

The GOTO waypoint page
allows you to select your
destination from a list of all
available waypoints in the
GPS 120XL’s memory.
