Going to a Destination
Using the NAV key, the GPSMAP 3006C/3010C provides four primary ways to navigate to a destina-
tion: Go To Point, Follow Route, Follow Track, and TracBack. Once you are actively navigating, you see a
straight line that always runs from your current location to the destination on the Map Page. The easi-
est 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 From Current Position’ window, 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:
Press the NAV key and select ‘ Stop Navigation’.
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 3006C/3010C automatically uses the
name of the map item, but the point is not stored in the waypoint list (see page 37 for creating waypoints
using map items). If you select a new map point (non-map item) as the ‘Go To’ destination, the GPSMAP
3006C/3010C automatically creates or moves a waypoint named ‘MAP’ at the cursor position.
To activate an existing waypoint or map item as a ‘Go To’ from the map display:
1. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the waypoint or map item on the screen and press NAV.
2. With ‘Go To <waypoint name>’, press ENTER or the associated DATA ENTRY key.
Choose a waypoint from either the ‘By Name’
or ‘Nearest’ tab list.
The waypoint or map item name automati-
cally appears when highlighted and NAV is
pressed.
