Getting Started
Using the NAV/MOB Key
Going to a Destination
GPS is all about marking positions as waypoints and navigating to them using the receiver’s steering
guidance and map displays. We’ve already seen how to use the ENTER/MARK key to store our present
position, so it’s time to move on to the fun part—going to a destination.
The NAV/MOB key, located on the right side of the keypad below the QUIT key, is the primary
tool used to select a destination waypoint, TracBack, or a route to navigate. The NAV/MOB key can
be used in three primary ways:
• Pressing NAV/MOB once displays a list of options from which you can select ‘Go To Waypoint’,
‘Follow Route’, ‘Follow Track’, or ‘Stop Navigation’.
• Holding down NAV/MOB , or pressing the key 2 times, activates the MOB (Man OverBoard)
feature. This marks the point at which the MOB was activated as a waypoint named “MOB” and
also establishes it as an active “Go To” point.
• Highlighting an on-screen waypoint or map item as a destination directly from the Map Page
and pressing NAV/MOB allows you to graphically select points to “Go To”.
For our simulated trip, you’re going to select a pre-programmed tour route using the fi rst method.
This will also show you how the MENU key provides tab style options and functions throughout the
GPSMAP system. Let’s start by changing the position to where the practice route is located.
To change the GPSMAP 162 position in simulator mode:
1. From the Status Page, press the MENU key. The options menu will appear, displaying a menu of
options and functions for the Status Page.
2. Press UP or DOWN on the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘Initialize Position’ option and press
ENTER/MARK.
3. From the Initialize Position page, press the MENU key. You will see ‘Enter As Text’ highlighted,
then press ENTER/MARK.
4. On the Enter Position window, press ENTER/MARK then use the ARROW KEYPAD to enter
N34°56.800’, W076°24.066’ and press ENTER/MARK when done.
Text entry for simulator position.
For future practice, you may skip
steps 3 and 4 and point to a location
from the Initialize Position page.
