Once you’ve stored a waypoint in memory, you can use the GPS III to guide youto it by using the GOTO feature. A GOTO is really nothing more than a straight-linecourse from your present position to the destination you’ve selected. A GOTO can beperformed several ways: by specifying the destination from the GOTO Page, graphi-cally from the map display or by highlighting the waypoint name on any page (suchas the Nearest Waypoints List).To select a GOTO destination from the GOTO Page:1. Press GOTO. This captures your current position as the starting point for your trip.2. Highlight the ‘All’ tab, using the rocker keypad, to list all waypoints currently stored inmemory.3. Highlight the desired waypoint, using the rocker keypad, and press ENTER.To select a GOTO destination from the Map Page:1. With the Map Page displayed, use the rocker keypad to place the cursor over thedesired destination waypoint. (If no waypoint exists at the destination location, the GPSIII Pilot will automatically create one, named ‘MAP’ in the step below.)2. Press GOTO, and then ENTER to navigate to the selected location.To GOTO a listed waypoint on the Nearest Waypoints List:1. With the Nearest Waypoints List displayed (see page 48), use the rocker keypad tohighlight the desired waypoint.2.
