Going To a Waypoint
Once you’ve stored a waypoint in memory, you can use
the GPS 40 to guide you to it by performing a simple
GOTO. A GOTO is really nothing more than the receiver
drawing a straight-line course from your present position to
the destination you’ve selected. To see how it works, let’s
try navigating back to our starting position, the HOME
waypoint.
To select a GOTO destination:
1. Press the
G
key.
2. The GOTO waypoint page will appear, displaying all the
waypoints in memory in alphabetical order.
3. Use
U
or
D
to highlight the ‘HOME’ waypoint.
4. Press the
E
key to confirm that you want to navigate
to the displayed waypoint.
Compass Page
Whenever you select a destination waypoint, the GPS
40 will provide graphic steering guidance with the compass
page. As you begin walking again, the compass page will
display nav data and graphic steering guidance to the desti-
nation. The bearing (BRG) and distance (DST) to the way-
point are displayed at the top of the page, below the desti-
nation waypoint field. The distance displayed is always the
straight-line-distance from your present position to the des-
tination waypoint. The bearing indicates the exact compass
heading from you to the destination.

The GOTOwaypoint page
allows you to select your
destination from a list of all
available waypoints in the
GPS 40’s memory.
Once a GOTO is activated,
the GPS 40 will pro v i d e
steering guidance to the des-
tination until the GOTO is
cancelled. To cancel a
GOTO, highlight the cancel
prompt at the bottom of the
page and press ENTER.
