Selecting a GOTO DestinationThe GPS 125 Sounder provides four ways to navi-gate to a destination: GOTO, MOB, TracBack and routenavigation. The most basic method of selecting a desti-nation is the GOTO function, which lets you chooseany stored waypoint as the destination and quickly setsa direct course from your present position.To activate the GOTO function:1. Press the G key. The GOTO waypoint list, an alpha-betical list of all available waypoints, will appear.2. Use the U and D keys to select the waypoint youwant to navigate to (it may already be highlighted).3. Press the F key to confirm, or Q to stop selec-tion of a GOTO destination and return to the previouspage.Once a GOTO waypoint has been activated, theCompass Page or Highway Page will provide steeringguidance to the destination until either the GOTO iscancelled or the unit has resumed navigating the activeroute (see pg. 36).To cancel an active GOTO:1. Press the G key.2. Use the arrow keypad to move the field highlight to the‘CANCEL GOTO?’ prompt at the bottom of the page andpress F.Man Overboard FunctionThe GPS 125 Sounder’s man overboard function(MOB) lets you simultaneously mark and set a course toa position for quick response to passing positions (likethe spot where your hat blew overboard).To activate the MOB mode:1. Press the B key. The GOTO waypoint page willappear with ‘MOB’ selected as the default destination.2. Press the F key to begin MOB navigation.The GPS 125 Sounder will now guide you to theMOB waypoint until the MOB GOTO is cancelled (see“to cancel an active GOTO” above). If you want to savethe MOB waypoint, be sure to rename it, because it willbe overwritten the next time a MOB is executed.Starting/Stoppinga GOTO & MOBREFERENCE28Select a destination way-point from the GOTO way-point list.Once the MOB mode hasbeen activated, steeringguidance will be providedby the Highway or CompassPage.
