Navigate To A Waypoint - Garmin GPS 50 Owner's Manual

The Nearest Waypoint Page may be displayed by pressing the WPT key. It
provides the waypoint name and bearing/range/estimated time enroute from
present position. Entire lists of your nearest waypoints (indicated by NR1
through NR9) may be viewed by pressing the MORE key while the cursor is
under the waypoint name.

The GOTO function allows you to quickly set a course from your position to
any waypoint.

Track
To activate the GOTO function...
· Press GOTO. The Active Route Page will be displayed with the cursor
under the GOTO waypoint field. If the GPS 50 is currently navigating
to a waypoint, that waypoint will be offered as the default GOTO
waypoint.
· Confirm the default GOTO waypoint by pressing the ENT key (this will
re-center CDI on the CDI page) or enter the desired GOTO waypoint
name. The CDI Page will be displayed.
Alternatively, the GOTO function may be quickly activated from any page
(e.g. the Nearest Waypoint Page) by placing the cursor under the desired
waypoint name and pressing the GOTO key. The Active Route Page will be
displayed with the cursor under the GOTO waypoint name. The GOTO
function will be activated when the ENT key is pressed.
To cancel the GOTO function...
· Press GOTO.
· Press CLR, the GOTO waypoint name will become blank.
· Press ENT. The GPS 50 will start to navigate using the active route,
if it has been programmed (see Chapter 6). Otherwise, the GPS 50 will
cease the computation of all waypoint navigation data.
