Garmin GPS 38 - Manual (Page 32)

Selecting a GOTO Destination
The GPS 38 provides four ways to navigate to a destina-
tion: GOTO, MOB, TracBack and route navigation. The
most basic method of selecting a destination is the GOTO
function, which lets you choose any stored waypoint as the
destination and quickly sets a direct course from your pre-
sent position.
To activate the GOTO function:
1. Press the G key. The GOTO waypoint list, an alphabet-
ical list of all available waypoints, will appear.
2. Select the waypoint you want to navigate to (it may
already be highlighted).
3. Press the E key to confirm, or Q to stop selection
of a GOTO destination and return to the previous page.
Once a GOTO waypoint has been activated, the
Compass Page or Highway Page will provide steering guid-
ance to the destination until the GOTO is cancelled, or the
unit has resumed navigating the active route (see page 36).
To cancel an active GOTO:
1. Press the G key.
2. Move the field highlight to the ‘CANCELGOTO?’ prompt at
the bottom of the page.
3. Press E
Man Overboard Function
The GPS 38’s man overboard function (MOB) lets you
simultaneously mark and set a course to a position for
quick response to passing positions (like the spot where
your hat blew overboard).
To activate the MOB mode:
1. Press the G key twice. The GOTO waypoint page will
appear with ‘MOB’ selected as the default destination.
2. Press the E key to begin MOB navigation.
The GPS 38 will now guide you to the MOB waypoint
until the MOB GOTO is cancelled (see page 28). If you
want to save the MOB waypoint, be sure to rename it, as it
will be overwritten the next time a MOB is executed.
Select a destination way-
point from the GOTO way-
point list.
Once the MOB mode has
been activated, steering
guidance will be provided by
the Compass or Highway
Page. Activating another
MOB will overwrite the pre-
vious MOB waypoint.
