The GPS III can navigate to a destination using any of four different methods:GOTO— lets you select a waypoint as your destination and quickly plot a directcourse from present position to that waypoint.MOB (man overboard)— captures your present position, saves it as a waypointand sets a course back to the position for quick response in an emergency.TracBack— allows you to retrace your path using the track log automaticallystored in the receiver’s memory. This eliminates the need to store waypoints alongthe way. (See page 52 for more information about TracBack.)Routes— allows you to manually create a sequence of intermediate waypointswhich lead you to your final destination. The GPS III will store up to 20 reversibleroutes, with up to 30 waypoints in each route.GOTO NavigationThe easiest way to select your destination is by using the GOTO key.
