6.9 Nearest Waypoints List
Another waypoint feature of the NavTalk is the
Nearest Waypoint List, which shows up to nine nearest
waypoints within 200 miles of your present position.
The Nearest Waypoint List also shows the bearing
(BRG) and distance (DST) to each nearby waypoint.
The list is continuously updated as you’re moving and
provides quick access to the closest points of safety in
an emergency.
To view the Nearest Waypoint List:
1. Press MENU twice to display the Main Menu.
2. Highlight Nearest and press ENTER.
To GOTO a nearby waypoint:
1. Highlight the desired waypoint from the Nearest Waypoint
List and press
#
. Aconfirmation page shows the selected
destination waypoint.
2. Press ENTER to confirm the selected waypoint and begin
navigating.
6.10 Navigation Methods
The NavTalk can navigate to a destination using any
of the following four methods:
GOTO - lets you select a waypoint as your destina-
tion and quickly plot a direct course from present
position to that waypoint.
MOB (man overboard) - captures your present
position, saves it as a waypoint and sets a course
back to the position for quick response in an emer-
gency.
TracBack - allows you to retrace your path using
the track log automatically stored in the receiver’s
memory. This eliminates the need to store way-
points along the way. (See page 80 for more infor-
mation about TracBack.)
Routes - allows you to manually create a sequence
of intermediate waypoints which lead you to your
final destination. The NavTalk will store up to 20
reversible routes, with up to 30 waypoints in each
route.
