Garmin Geko 201 - Manual (Page 27)

The Geko 201 allows you to navigate using one of three methods: Goto, TracBack and
Route. The Goto method of navigation was briefl y discussed on page 6 and TracBack is
discussed on page 18.
A route is at least two waypoints that describe the path you are going to travel. The route
feature is very convenient because it allows the Geko 201 to guide you from the fi rst way-
point in the route, to each successive waypoint until you reach your fi nal destination. The
route feature and the Goto feature are comparable in that they both guide you to destination
waypoints.
However, the route feature is more powerful because it is more automatic. When you
reach one waypoint, the Geko 201 automatically guides you to the next waypoint on the
route without needing to touch any button. When you use the ‘Goto’ feature you have to
stop and select the next waypoint before you start moving. When you plan a trip, you can
select waypoints from a waypoint list and put them into the Geko 201’s memory. At least
two waypoints (up to a maximum of 125) are linked together to form a route.
When you start your trip, you activate the route feature and the receiver points the way
you should travel to get from the fi rst waypoint to the second. You can then use the pointer
page to give you steering guidance.
