Getting Started
Using the NAV 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. We’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
key, located on the keypad above the
QUIT
key, is the primary tool used to select a
destination waypoint, TracBack, or a route to navigate. The
NAV
key can be used in two primary
ways:
• Pressing
NAV
once displays a list of options from which you can select ‘Go To Point’, ‘Follow Route’,
‘Follow Track’, or ‘Stop Navigation’.
• Highlighting an on-screen waypoint or map item as a destination directly from the Map Page and
pressing
NAV
allows you to graphically select points to “Go To”.
For our 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 GPSMAP 182/232 system to provide
tab style options and functions. Let’s start by changing the position to where the practice route is
located.
To change the GPSMAP 182/232 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 ‘Systm’ tab.
3. Highlight ‘Set Position’ in the simulator setup window and press
ENTER/MARK
.
4. From the Initialize Position page, press the
MENU
key. You will see ‘Enter As Text’ highlighted,
then 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, then press
QUIT
to return
to the Map Page.
Text entry for simulator
position.
For future practice, you
may skip steps 3 and 4
and point to a location
from the Initialize Position
page.
