Selecting a GOTO Destination
The GPS 125 Sounder provides four ways to navi-
gate to a destination: GOTO, MOB, TracBack and route
navigation. The most basic method of selecting a desti-
nation is the GOTO function, which lets you choose
any stored waypoint as the destination and quickly sets
a 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 you
want 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 previous
page.
Once a GOTO waypoint has been activated, the
Compass Page or Highway Page will provide steering
guidance to the destination until either the GOTO is
cancelled or the unit has resumed navigating the active
route (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 and
press
F
.
Man Overboard Function
The GPS 125 Sounder’s man overboard function
(MOB) lets you simultaneously mark and set a course to
a position for quick response to passing positions (like
the spot where your hat blew overboard).
To activate the MOB mode:
1. Press the
B
key. The GOTO waypoint page will
appear 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 the
MOB waypoint until the MOB GOTO is cancelled (see
“to cancel an active GOTO” above). If you want to save
the MOB waypoint, be sure to rename it, because it will
be overwritten the next time a MOB is executed.

REFERENCE
28
Select a destination way-
point from the GOTO way-
point list.
Once the MOB mode has
been activated, steering
guidance will be provided
by the Highway or Compass
Page. Activating another
MOB will replace the previ-
ous MOB waypoint.
