Garmin GPS III GPS Receiver User Manual


 
The GPS III Pilot can navigate to a destination using any of three different methods:
GOTO— lets you select a waypoint as your destination and quickly plot a direct
course from present position to that waypoint.
TracBack— allows you to retrace your path using the track log automatically
stored in the receiver’s memory. This eliminates the need to store waypoints along
the way. (See page 64 for more information about TracBack.)
Routes— allows you to manually create a sequence of intermediate waypoints
which lead you to your final destination. The GPS III Pilot will store up to 20
reversible routes, with up to 30 waypoints in each route.
GOTO Navigation
The easiest way to select your destination is by using the GOTO key. The GOTO
key can be used by itself, after highlighting a waypoint name on a list, or after
designating a position on the map display.
To GOTO a waypoint:
1. Press GOTO/NRST. The GOTO page shows a series of file tabs for ‘Recent’ waypoints,
‘User’ waypoints or ‘Spell n Find’.
2. To GOTO a recently used waypoint, select the ‘Recent’ tab, highlight the desired way-
point and press ENTER.
3. To GOTO a user waypoint, select the ‘User’ tab, highlight the desired waypoint
and press ENTER.
4. To enter the identifier of the destination waypoint, select the ‘Spell n Find’ tab and
highlight the waypoint identifier (name) field. Press ENTER and use the rocker keypad
to enter the identifier of the desired waypoint—UP/DOWN to change each character
and RIGHT to move to the next character. Press ENTER to confirm the selection.
To GOTO a waypoint, press
GOTO/NRST and highlight
the waypoint identifier field at
the top of the page.
Press ENTER and use the
rocker keypad to enter the
identifier of the destination
waypoint. Press ENTER to
begin navigation.
