Selecting a Go To Destination Graphically
A graphical Go To can be used to select one of three items from the map
display—an existing waypoint, on-screen map items such as rivers, cities,
navaids, or a new map point. If you select a map item as the Go To destination,
the GPSMAP 3205 automatically uses the name of the map item, but the point
is not stored in the waypoint list. If you select a new map point (non-map item)
as the Go To destination, the GPSMAP 3205 automatically creates a waypoint
named MAP at the pointer location.
To Go To an existing waypoint or map item from the map display:
1. Use the ROCKER to highlight the waypoint or map item you want to
navigate to on the Map Page, and press NAV.
2. On the Navigation menu, highlight Go To <waypoint name>, and press
ENTER.
To Go To a new map point (non-map item) from the map display:
1. Use the ROCKER to move the pointer to the location you want, and press
NAV.
2. With Go To MAP Point highlighted, press ENTER.
To stop navigation:
1. Press NAV.
2. Highlight Stop Navigation, and press ENTER.
Follow Track and TracBack Navigation
A track is an electronic breadcrumb trail recording or history of your path. The
track currently being recorded is the “active” track. An active track can be stored
in the unit and when stored, is referred to as saved. Both the Follow Track and
TracBack options navigate in the same way. Follow Track uses stored or “saved”
tracks; TracBack uses your current or “active” track.
