Navigation Methods
The sounder provides four methods of navigation: GOTO, MOB, TracBack
and Route.
GOTO
The sounder allows you to create a simple route consisting of your current posi-
tion and selection of a single destination (waypoint) from the waypoint list. Any
waypoint on the list can be selected as the destination. Pressing the G key once
shows a list of all waypoints in memory from which to choose.
To turn on GOTO navigation from the waypoint list:
1. Press the G key. Select a waypoint and press T . The sounder sets a direct line
course from your present position to the selected destination.
Selecting a GOTO Graphically
Pressing the G key twice allows you to graphically select an on-screen way-
point, navaid or cursor position as the destination. If you are selecting a navaid or
a new position as the GOTO destination, the sounder will automatically create or
move the waypoint named ‘MAP’ at the navaid or map position.
To turn on a GOTO from the map display:
1. Press the G key twice.
2. To select an existing user waypoint, highlight the waypoint on screen and press T .
3. To select a navaid, highlight the navaid on screen and press T . The GOTO new way-
point page will appear, displaying the navaid position as a ‘MAP’ waypoint, with the
navaid symbol and text as the default symbol and waypoint comment. Press
T to
save the waypoint and begin navigation.
4. To select a cursor position as your destination, move the arrow cursor to the desired
position and press T . The GOTO new waypoint page will appear and display the posi-
tion as the ‘MAP’ waypoint. Press T to save the waypoint and begin navigation.

GOTO/MOB
Selecting a GOTO
Destination
A B
A. To select a destination from a list of waypoints,
press GOTO once.
B. Press GOTO twice to select a destination waypoint
using the map cursor. If you are not selecting an
existing waypoint as your destination, a new way-
point named ‘MAP’ will be created. Keep in mind
that the MAP waypoint will be overwritten for each
MAP GOTO. Overwriting allows you to navigate to
on-screen navaids without permanently storing the
navaid as a waypoint. If you want to save the MAP
waypoint, rename it following the steps on page 58.
