Selecting a GOTO Destination
The GPS 126/128 provides four ways to navigate to
a destination: GOTO, MOB, TracBack, and route navi-
gation. The most basic method of selecting a destina-
tion 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
F
.
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 30).
To cancel an active GOTO:
1. Press the
G
key.
2. Highlight ‘CANCEL GOTO?’, and press
F
.
Man Overboard Function
The GPS 126/128’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 the
B
key.
2. Press
F
to begin MOB navigation.
T
he GPS126/128 will now guide you to the MOB
waypoint until the MOB GOTO is cancelled. If you
want to save the MOB waypoint be sure to rename it.
The MOB function will overwrite any previous MOB
waypoint when it is activated.
