(left). The Navigation Page (center) with Map Page (right). The victim
is astern of the vessel; the GPS shows which direction to steer to for
the rescue.
The man overboard position is also stored in the waypoint list for fu-
ture reference. It can be edited the same as any other waypoint. This
prevents the inadvertent loss of the current Man Overboard position.

Navigate to Cursor Position on Map
The GO TO CURSOR command: navigates to the current cursor position on
the map. It's a quick and handy way to navigate to anything you can
see on the map display.
1. Use the cursor (controlled by the arrow keys) with the zoom in and
zoom out keys to maneuver around the map until you find a location
you want to go to.
2. Center the cursor over the location to select it. See the example in
the following figure. (Many map items such as waypoints, Points of In-
terest, towns, etc. can be "selected," and appear "highlighted" with a
pop-up box. Other features, such as a river or a street intersection will
not appear "highlighted," but the cursor will take you to those locations
just the same.)
