Selecting a GOTO Destination
The GPS 45XL provides four ways to navigate to a des-
tination: GOTO, MOB, TracBack and route navigation. 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 pre-
sent position.
To activate the GOTO function:
1. Press the
G
key. The GOTO waypoint list, an alphabet-
ical 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
E
key to confirm, or
Q
to stop selection
of a GOTO destination and return to the previous page.
Once a GOTO waypoint has been activated, the com-
pass 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 page 36).
To cancel an active GOTO:
1. Press the
G
key.
2. Use the arrow keypad to move the field highlight to the
‘CANCELGOTO?’ prompt at the bottom of the page and
press
E
.
Man Overboard Function
The GPS 45XL’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
G
key twice. The GOTO waypoint page will
appear with ‘MOB’ selected as the default destination.
2. Press the
E
key to begin MOB navigation.
The GPS 45XL will now guide you to the MOB way-
point until the MOB GOTO is cancelled (see “cancel
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.

GOTO & MOB
Navigation
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 compass or highway
page. Activating another
MOB will overwrite the pre-
vious MOB waypoint.
