A BGoing to a DestinationThe GPSMAP 230 provides four ways to navigate to a destination: GOTO,MOB, TracBack and route navigation. The most basic method of selecting adestination is the GOTO function, which lets you select a waypoint as your desti-nation and quickly sets a direct course from your present position. The G keycan be used in three ways: from a list of waypoints, directly from the map displayand from a list of GOTO options. Pressing the G key once displays a list of allwaypoints in memory, from which you can select a single destination waypoint.To activate a GOTO from the waypoint list:1. Press the G key.2. Select a waypoint and press T.Selecting a GOTO On MapPressing the G key twice allows you to graphically select an on-screen way-point, navaid, or cursor position as a destination. A graphical GOTO may be usedto select one of three options from the map display: an existing waypoint, an on-screen navaid, or a cursor position. If you are selecting a navaid or a new positionas the GOTO destination, the GPSMAP 230 will automatically create or move thewaypoint named ‘MAP’ at the navaid or map position.To activate a GOTO from the map display:1. Press the G key twice.2. To select an existing user waypoint, highlight the waypoint on screen and press T.3. To select a navaid, highlight the navaid on screen and press T. The ‘GOTO NEWWAYPOINT’ page will appear, displaying the navaid position as a ‘MAP’ waypoint, withthe navaid symbol and text as the default icon and waypoint comment. Press T tosave the waypoint and begin navigation.4. To select a cursor position as your destination, move the arrow cursor to the desiredposition and press T. The ‘GOTO NEW WAYPOINT’ page will appear and display theposition as the ‘MAP’ waypoint. Press T to save the waypoint and begin navigation. 43A. Press GOTO once to select a destination from a listof waypoints.B. Press GOTO twice to select a destination waypointwith the map cursor. If you are not selecting anexisting waypoint as your destination, a new way-point named ‘MAP’ will be created. Keep in mindthat the MAP waypoint will be overwritten for eachMAP GOTO. This allows you to navigate to on-screen navaids without permanently storing thenavaid as a waypoint. If you want to save the MAPwaypoint, rename it following the steps on page 39.SECTION7GOTO/MOBSelecting aGOTO Destination
