Tracker500/500i User Manual

10.0 GoTo

The GoTo function provides a simple method of navigating from the current boat position
to a waypoint or mark.

The GoTo sub-screen that can be selected from the Main
Selection screen gives the options to GoTo a waypoint or
mark, or to Go Along a route. Each of these options will
bring up the appropriate list of destinations. Selecting a
destination will start the navigation process and switch to
the Highway screen. The Tracker500/500i will display the
distance, time and bearing to the destination waypoint. It
can also guide a NMEA compatible autopilot to the
destination waypoint.

There are several other methods of activating the GoTo
function:

• From the Trackplot screen, position the cursor over a waypoint or mark. Press and hold

the zoom-out key until the waypoint or mark details are displayed. Select the GoTo
option from this screen.

• From the Routes sub-screen, select the route you want to traverse. Then select the Go

Along option.

Cancel GoTo

To deactivate the GoTo function simply select STOP NAV from the Main Selection page. A
message will be displayed asking you for confirmation that you wish to stop navigating to
the current waypoint.
