Getting Started
Using the NAV/MOB Key
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.
