Going to a Destination
The GPSMAP 176/176C provides four ways to navigate to
a destination: Go To Point, Navigate Route, Navigate Track
(TracBack), and MOB (Man OverBoard) navigation. Once you are
actively navigating, a straight line that always runs from your current
location to the destination appears on the Map page. The easiest
method of navigation is a Go To, which lets you select a destination
point and quickly sets a direct course from your present location.
When you press NAV, Go To <point name> appears in addition to
Go To Point.
Choose a waypoint from either the By Name or Nearest tab list.
To activate a Go To from the points list:
The waypoint or map item name automatically
appears when you highlight the point and press NAV.
1. Press the NAV key.
2. Highlight Go To Point and press ENTER.
3. From the Find menu, highlight Waypoints and press ENTER.
You can also go to other points from this list, such as cities,
tide stations, and navaids.
4. Select a waypoint from the By Name or Nearest and press
ENTER. This displays the Waypoint Review page.
5. With Go To highlighted, press ENTER to begin navigation.
