The Meridian has the ability to provide you with the tools you’ll need to 
navigate to your destination. You have the choice of three customizable 
screens that display the information that you need in the layout that you 
desire. Hikers may find the compass screen perfect for them while boaters 
may prefer the Large Data or Map screen. For you, the Map screen may 
have all the information you’ll ever require. 
Press [NAV] until the navigation screen you want is displayed.
If you selected the Map screen, you will see your position icon in the center 
of the screen with a line drawn for you on the map, graphically displaying 
the GOTO route. 
Note that this route is line of sight (LOS) or “as the crow flies.” 
The Meridian does not compute the route using streets and 
highways providing a turn-by-turn routing. You’ll find very 
quickly that you can easily use the roads and highways 
displayed on the Map screen and compare them to the 
displayed route and get to your destination simply. 
GOTO routes are NOT saved in memory when the 
Meridian is turned off. If you are navigating on a GOTO 
route and you need to turn the Meridian off, you will 
need to restart the GOTO. Routes, however, are stored in 
memory. If you need to make a GOTO but expect to 
turn the Meridian off before arriving, you might consider 
making a 1-leg route using the route menu.
