Garmin 125 GPS Receiver User Manual


 
Using the Position and Map Pages (continued)
Now let’s change the display to the Map Page and
watch the track log of our tour:
1. Press
J
to change from the Position Page to the
Map Page.
Your current position is shown as the diamond in
the middle of the screen. The dark circle below the dia-
mond represents the position you created, with the line
between the two showing your track.
1. Once you have reached an area that allows for gener-
al changes in direction without interfering in the pas-
sage of other boats, mark your current position again
and name this waypoint “CHANNL”. (See ‘Marking a
Waypoint’ on pg. 10-11).
2. Next, make a moderate turn in any direction safe for
navigation and proceed for another 3 minutes.
Going To a Waypoint
Once you’ve stored the ‘CHANNL’ waypoint in
memory, you can use the GPS 125 Sounder to guide
you to it by performing a simple GOTO. A GOTO is
simply the receiver drawing a straight-line course from
your present position to the destination you’ve selected.
Use caution when navigating. A “straight-line”
course reflects the shortest distance to a way-
point, and does not navigate around obstruc-
tions, such as land or buoys, etc.
Now that you have moved away from ‘CHANNL’ for
three minutes, let’s try navigating back to it.
To select a GOTO destination:
1. Press the
G
key. The GOTO waypoint page will
appear, displaying all the waypoints in memory in
alphabetical order.
2. Use
U
or
D
to highlight the ‘CHANNL’ waypoint.
3. Press the
F
key to confirm that you want to navi-
gate to the displayed waypoint. The Highway Page
(default) will appear.

The moving map’s default
screen orientation is track
up orientation. “Track up”
means that your current
direction of travel is always
up (or towards the top of)
the screen. It can also be set
for north up, or desired
track orientation through
the map setup page.
The GOTO waypoint page
allows you to select a desti-
nation from a list of all
available waypoints in the
GPS 125 Sounder’s
memory.
