Navigating to a Destination

Using the Nav Key

The NAV key provides three ways to navigate to a destination:

Go To Point, Follow Route, and Follow Track (TracBack). When

you are actively navigating, the Map Page displays a straight line

from your current location to the destination. The Go To option is

the easiest method for selecting a destination. A Go To allows you

to select a destination point and quickly set a direct course from

your present location. If you have a point highlighted on a list or

the map, Go To <point name> appears in addition to Go To Point.

The Go To function is accessed from any list of points or

graphically from the Map Page.
