Selecting a GOTODestination
The GPS 12 provides four ways to navigate to a
destination: GOTO, MOB, TracBack, and route naviga-
tion. The most basic method of selecting a destination
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
G
.
2. Select the waypoint you want to navigate to, and
press
E
.
Once a GOTOwaypoint 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 30).
To cancel an active GOTO:
1. Press the
G
key.
2. Highlight ‘CANCELGOTO?’, and press
E
.
Man Overboard Function
The GPS 12’s man overboard function (MOB) lets
you simultaneously mark and set a course to a position
for quick response to passing positions.
To activate the MOB mode:
1. Press
G
twice. The GOTO waypoint page will
appear with ‘MOB’ selected.
2Press
E
to begin MOB navigation.
The GPS 12 will now guide you to the MOB way-
point until the MOBGOTOis cancelled. If you want to
save the MOB waypoint, be sure to rename it because it
will be overwritten the next time a MOB is activated.

Select a destination way-
point from the GOTO
waypoint list.

Functions
Once the MOB mode has
been activated, steering
guidance will be provided
by the Compass or
Highway Page. Activating
another MOB will over-
write the previous MOB
waypoint.
