Garmin GPSMAP 175 - Manual (Page 53)

The GPSMAP 175 provides four ways to navigate to a destination: GOTO,
MOB, TracBack and route navigation. The most basic method of selecting a
destination is the GOTO function, which lets you select a waypoint as your
destination and quickly sets a direct course from your present position. The G key
can be used in three ways: from a list of waypoints, graphically from the map display
and from a list of GOTO options. Pressing the G key once displays a list of all
waypoints in memory, from which you can select a single destination waypoint.
To activate a GOTO from the waypoint list:
1. Press the G key.
2. Select a waypoint and press T.
Selecting a GOTO On the MAP
Pressing the G key twice allows you to select an on-screen waypoint, navaid
or cursor position, on the map, as a destination. An on map GOTO may be used
to select one of three options from the map display: an existing waypoint, an on-
screen navaid, or a cursor position. If you are selecting a navaid or a new position
as the GOTO destination, the GPSMAP 175 will automatically create or move a
waypoint named ‘MAP’ at the navaid or map position.
To activate 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 waypoint page will appear, displaying the navaid’s position as a ‘MAP’
waypoint, with the navaid symbol and text as the default icon 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 position as the ‘MAP’ waypoint. Press T to save the waypoint
and begin navigation.
GOTO/MOB
Selecting a GOTO Destination
A. Press GOTO to select
a destination
waypoint.
B. Press GOTO twice to
select a destination
waypoint with the map
cursor. If not
navigating to an
existing waypoint, a
waypoint named
‘MAP’ will be created.
MAP is overwritten for each MAP GOTO. This allows navigation to on-screen navaids
without permanently storing them. Rename MAP to save it permanently (See page.43).
