Set OBS and Hold— allows you to manually define the course to your destination waypoint. Once
selected, the GPSMAP 295 will use the OBS course setting for steering guidance with the course
deviation needle and desired course pointer.
When using the GPSMAP 295’s route features, ‘Set OBS and Hold’ will prevent the unit
from automatically sequencing to the next route waypoint. To maintain the OBS course
and retain automatic sequencing, you must also select the ‘Release Hold’ option.
To manually set a course to the destination waypoint:
1. With the HSI Page displayed, press MENU to display the HSI Page Options. (Keep in mind, you must
have a destination waypoint select using a ‘GOTO’ or a route.)
2. Highlight ‘Set OBS and Hold’ and press ENTER. An OBS data field will appear on the HSI display.
3. Select the desired OBS course using the LEFT/RIGHT keys on the ROCKER KEYPAD and press
ENTER. The course deviation needle and desired course pointer will now provide steering guidance
to the selected course.
To cancel the OBS course and reset a direct course to the waypoint, press D WPT
followed by ENTER (or re-activate the route).
Release Hold— cancels the ‘hold’ feature enabled when ‘Set OBS and Hold’ is selected. This option
returns the GPSMAP 295 to automatic sequencing of waypoints along the active route. However, if an
OBS course has been selected, that course setting will be retained until cancelled (as described above)
or until waypoint passage.
To release a waypoint hold and return to automatic sequencing of route waypoints:
1. With the HSI Page displayed, press MENU to display the HSI Page Options.
2. Highlight ‘Release Hold’ and press ENTER.
Select ‘Set OBS and Hold’ to define the inbound course to
your destination waypoint. When you select this option a
pop-up window appears at the center of the HSI. Use the
ROCKER KEYPAD to select the desired course.
‘Release Hold’ maintains the selected OBS course but cancels
the hold. This re-enables automatic sequencing to the next
route waypoint upon waypoint passage.
