Selecting a GOTO Destination
The GPS 120XL provides four ways to navigate to a
destination: GOTO, MOB, TracBack and route naviga-
tion. The most basic method of selecting a destination is
the GOTO function, which lets you choose any stored
waypoint as the destination and quickly sets a direct
course from your present position.
To activate the GOTO function:
1. Press the
G
key. The GOTO waypoint list, an alpha-
betical list of all available waypoints, will appear.
2. Use the
U
and
D
keys to select the waypoint you
want to navigate to (it may already be highlighted).
3. Press the
F
key to confirm, or
Q
to stop selec-
tion of a GOTO destination and return to the previous
page.
Once a GOTO waypoint has been activated, the
Compass Page or Highway Page will provide steering
guidance to the destination until either the GOTO is
cancelled or the unit has resumed navigating the active
route (see page 34).
To cancel an active GOTO:
1. Press the
G
key.
2. Use the arrow keypad to move the field highlight to the
‘CANCEL GOTO?’ prompt at the bottom of the page and
press
F
.
Man Overboard Function
The GPS 120XL’s man overboard function (MOB)
lets you simultaneously mark and set a course to a posi-
tion for quick response to passing positions (like the
spot where your hat blew overboard).
To activate the MOB mode:
1. Press the
B
key. The GOTO waypoint page will
appear with ‘MOB’ selected as the default destination.
2. Press the
F
key to begin MOB navigation.
The GPS 120XL will now guide you to the MOB
waypoint until the MOB GOTO is cancelled (see “to
cancel an active GOTO” above). If you want to save the
MOB waypoint, be sure to rename it, because it will be
overwritten the next time a MOB is executed.
Starting/Stopping
a GOTO & MOB
REFERENCE
26
Select a destination way-
point from the GOTO way-
point list.
Once the MOB mode has
been activated, steering
guidance will be provided
by the highway or compass
page. Activating another
MOB will replace the previ-
ous MOB waypoint.
