Going to a Destination
The GPSMAP 180 provides four ways to navigate to a destination: GOTO,
MOB, TracBack and route navigation. The most basic method of selecting a desti-
nation 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, directly from the map display and
from a list of GOTO options. Pressing the G key once displays a list of all way-
points 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 Map
Pressing the G key twice allows you to graphically select an on-screen way-
point, navaid, or cursor position as a destination. A graphical 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 180 will automatically create or move the
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 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. 43
A. Press GOTO once to select a destination from a
list of waypoints.
B. Press GOTO twice to select a destination way-
point with the map cursor. If you are not
selecting an existing waypoint as your destina-
tion, a new waypoint named ‘MAP’ will be cre-
ated. Keep in mind that the MAP waypoint will
be overwritten for each MAP GOTO. This
allows you to navigate to on-screen navaids
without permanently storing the navaid as a
waypoint. If you want to save the MAP way-
point, rename it following the steps on page 39.
