Getting Started
Using the NAV/MOB Key
Going to a Destination
GPS is all about marking positions as waypoints and navigating to them using the receivers steering
guidance and map displays. Youve already seen how to use the ENTER/MARK key to store our
present position, so its time to move on to the fun partgoing to a destination.
The NAV/MOB key, located on the left side of the keypad below the PAGE key, is the primary
tool used to select a destination waypoint, a route to navigate, or start a TracBack. The NAV/MOB
key can be used in three primary ways:
Pressing NAV/MOB once displays a list of options from which you can select Go To Waypoint,
Follow Route, Follow Track, or Stop Navigation.
Holding down NAV/MOB, or pressing the key two times, activates the MOB (Man OverBoard)
feature. This marks the point at which the MOB was activated as a waypoint named MOB and also
establishes it as an active Go To point.
Highlighting an on-screen waypoint, map feature or map location as a destination directly from the
Map Page and pressing NAV/MOB allows you to graphically select points to Go To.
For the simulated trip, youre going to select a pre-programmed tour route using the rst method.
This will also show how the MENU key is used throughout the GPS 152 system to provide tab style
options and functions. Start by changing the position to where the practice route is located.
