Going To A Destination - Garmin GPS 152 Owner's Manual And Reference Manual

Going to a Destination

GPS is all about marking positions as waypoints and navigating to them using the receiver' s steering
guidance and map displays. You've already seen how to use the ENTER/MARK key to store our
present position, so it' s time to move on to the fun part—going 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, you're going to select a pre-programmed tour route using the fi 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.
To change the GPS 152 position in simulator mode:
1. Press the MENU key twice to display the list of Main Menu tab items.
2. Use the UP or DOWN arrow of the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the 'Sys' tab.
3. Highlight 'Set Options' in the lower right and press ENTER/MARK, then highlight 'Set Position' in
the simulator setup window and press ENTER/MARK.
4. From the Initialize Position page, press the MENU key. With 'Enter As Text' highlighted, press
ENTER/MARK.
5. On the Enter Position window, press ENTER/MARK then use the ARROW KEYPAD to enter
N34°56.800', W076°24.066' and press ENTER/MARK when done.
