Marker)
GoTo point: A set point that acts as a target.
Once you have activated a GoTo point, a
straight line from your current location and
GoTo point (or route) will appear. This is
useful in situations when you do not know
where you are going, i.e. you have no
determined route. Access various statistics
from the data box options using this feature,
e.g. GoTo Distance, GoTo ETA, GoTo Bearing
etc. (section 7.08).
Marker: A red ag (reference point) on the
map from which the distance and bearing to
any other point on the map can be measured.
You are not able to follow a Marker and it
is only available in Planning mode. Use the
joystick to move the planning circle in the
desired direction to calculate the straight line
distance or bearing.
The menu options are as follows:
• GoTo – Set By Coords
• GoTo – Route*
• Marker – Set By Coords
*Available once a GoTo point has been set.
Note: GoTo and Marker function for setting by
postcode are available for some units sold in
the UK.
Clear Marker and GoTo – Clear buttons are
active once a point/marker has been set.
(Also accessible from the POSITION INFO
screen section 10.00).
