  • Page 49: Stop Navigation

    Going to a Destination Using the NAV/MOB key, the GPS 152 provides four ways to navigate to a destination: Go To Waypoint, Follow Route, Follow Track (TracBack), and MOB (Man OverBoard) navigation. Once you are actively navigating, you will see a straight line that always runs from your current location to the destination.

    (roads, rivers, cities, navaids, etc.), or a new map point (non-map item). If you are selecting a map item as the ‘Go To’ destination, the GPS 152 will automatically use the name of the map item, but the point will not be stored in the waypoint list. See page 32 for creating waypoints using map features.

  • Page 51: Tracback

    TracBack Navigation (Follow Track) The second method of navigating to a destination is by using the TracBack feature. TracBack allows you to retrace your path using the track log automatically stored in the receiver’ s memory, which will eliminate the need to store waypoints along the way. TracBack routes are created by reducing your track log into a route of up to 30 turns and activating an inverted route along those points.
  • Page 52 ENTER/MARK. Once a TracBack has been activated, the GPS 152 takes the track log currently stored in memory and divides it into segments. Up to 30 temporary ‘turns’ are created (named BEGIN, Turn1, Turn2, Turn3, etc.
