Chapter 3: Using the Initial Soft Keys
3.3 Using the GO TO Key
The GO TO initial soft key provides a quick method of navigating to a target
point. You can select any target point (which is then stored as a new waypoint)
or an existing waypoint.
Note: You can also search for a specific waypoint and track towards it using
the Waypoint List options (see Chapter 5).
Navigating to a Target Point
To navigate to a target point:
1. Use the trackpad to position the cursor on the target point.
2. Press GO TO.
The chartplotter saves the target point as a new waypoint and starts
tracking towards it. If your target point is an existing waypoint, its position
is used and a new waypoint is not created.
If a waypoint is already active refer to Clearing or Changing a GOTO
below.
The waypoint is shown as a circle with a dot in the center, and is connected
to the vessel's starting position with a dashed line. The waypoint is given a
default name of the format xxxWPT, where xxx is the next available
waypoint number.
3. Press the EDIT soft key, that is displayed for 7 seconds, if you wish to change
any of the waypoint information for the new waypoint:
Editing the Waypoint Details
You can change the new waypoint's name, symbol and position within 7
seconds of requesting GOTO.
To edit the waypoint details:
1. Press the EDIT soft key. A window such as the following is displayed:
