Going to a Destination

Using the NAV key, the GPSMAP 188/188C/238 Sounder provides three ways to navigate to a

destination: Go To Point, Follow Route, and Follow Track (TracBack). Once you are actively navigat-

ing, you will see a straight line that always runs from your current location to the destination on the

Map Page. The easiest method for selecting a destination is the ‘Go To’ function, which lets you select a

destination point, then quickly sets a direct course from your present position. If you highlight a point

on a list or the map and press NAV, ‘Go To <point name>’ appears in addition to ‘Go To Point’. The ‘Go

To’ function can be accessed from any list of points or graphically from the map display.

To activate a ‘Go To’ from a point list:

1. Press the NAV key.

2. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight ‘Go To Point’ and press ENTER.

3. From the ‘Find’ menu, highlight ‘Waypoints’ and press ENTER. (You may also choose to go to other

points, such as Cities, Tide Stations, etc. from this list.)

4. Select a waypoint from the ‘By Name’ or ‘Nearest’ list, then press ENTER. To display the Waypoint

Review page for the selected waypoint.

5. With the ‘Go To’ button highlighted, press ENTER to begin navigation.

To stop navigation:

1. Press the NAV key. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight ‘Stop Navigation’ and press ENTER.

Selecting a ‘Go To’ Graphically

A graphical ‘Go To’ may be used to select one of three items from the map display: an existing

waypoint, an on-screen map item (roads, rivers, cities, navaids, etc.), or a new map point (non-map

item). If you select a map item as the ‘Go To’ destination, the GPSMAP 188/188C/238 Sounder will

automatically use the name of the map item, but the point will not be stored in the waypoint list (see

page 45 for creating waypoints using map items). If you select a new map point (non-map item) as the

‘Go To’ destination, the GPSMAP 188/188C/238 Sounder automatically creates or moves a waypoint

named ‘MAP’ at the cursor position.

Choose a waypoint

from either the ‘User’

or ‘Nearest’ tab list.

The waypoint or map item

name will automatically

appear when highlighted

and NAV is pressed.
