Selecting a GOTO DestinationThe GPS 38 provides four ways to navigate to a destina-tion: GOTO, MOB, TracBack and route navigation. Themost basic method of selecting a destination is the GOTOfunction, which lets you choose any stored waypoint as thedestination and quickly sets a direct course from your pre-sent position.To activate the GOTO function:1. Press the G key. The GOTO waypoint list, an alphabet-ical list of all available waypoints, will appear.2. Select the waypoint you want to navigate to (it mayalready be highlighted).3. Press the E key to confirm, or Q to stop selectionof a GOTO destination and return to the previous page.Once a GOTO waypoint has been activated, theCompass Page or Highway Page will provide steering guid-ance to the destination until the GOTO is cancelled, or theunit has resumed navigating the active route (see page 36).To cancel an active GOTO:1. Press the G key.2. Move the field highlight to the ‘CANCELGOTO?’ prompt atthe bottom of the page.3. Press EMan Overboard FunctionThe GPS 38’s man overboard function (MOB) lets yousimultaneously mark and set a course to a position forquick response to passing positions (like the spot whereyour hat blew overboard).To activate the MOB mode:1. Press the G key twice. The GOTO waypoint page willappear with ‘MOB’ selected as the default destination.2. Press the E key to begin MOB navigation.The GPS 38 will now guide you to the MOB waypointuntil the MOB GOTO is cancelled (see page 28). If youwant to save the MOB waypoint, be sure to rename it, as itwill be overwritten the next time a MOB is executed.Select a destination way-point from the GOTO way-point list.Once the MOB mode hasbeen activated, steeringguidance will be provided bythe Compass or HighwayPage. Activating anotherMOB will overwrite the pre-vious MOB waypoint.REFERENCEStarting/Stoppinga GOTO & MOB28
