On-Route GOTOs

At the beginning of this section, we mentioned that the GPS II

+

will automatical-

ly select the route leg closest to your position as the active leg. This will give you
steering guidance to the desired track of the active leg. Note that the first waypoint
selected as the destination waypoint will be of the route leg closest to your present
position. This may mean you’re not navigating to the first waypoint in the active
route—you may be navigating to the last. If you prefer to navigate a route out of
sequence, you can perform an ‘on-route GOTO’ from the active route page.

To perform an ‘on-route GOTO’ from the active route page:

1. Highlight the desired route waypoint, and press GOTO.

2. Once the GOTO waypoint page appears with the waypoint highlighted (Fig. 53a), press

ENTER.

Note that after you reach the on-route GOTO waypoint, the GPS II

+

will auto-

matically resume navigating the rest of the route in sequence using the page you
were on before performing a GOTO (Fig. 53b).
