Going to a Destination
Using the NAV/MOB key, the GPSMAP 162 provides four ways to navigate to a destination: Go To
Waypoint, Follow Track (TracBack), MOB (Man OverBoard), and Follow Route navigation. Once you
are actively navigating, you will see a straight line that always runs from the point where you started the
GOTO, to the destination. The easiest method for selecting a destination is the ‘Go To’ function, which
lets you select a destination waypoint and quickly sets a direct course from your present position.
If you have a waypoint highlighted on a list or the map, ‘Go To <waypoint name>’ will appear in
addition to ‘Go To Waypoint’. The ‘Go To’ function can be accessed from a list of waypoints or
graphically from the map display.
A dashed circle will appear showing
the alert boundary for the proximity
waypoints.
