  Using a  Goto to Navigate to a Destination

The Goto function allows you to create a direct route 

to a destination, (waypoint, city, or point of interest). 
Once you have accessed the Information Page for an item, 
use the Goto  button at the bottom of the page to initiate 
travel to a map item using the Map and Navigation Pages 
for guidance.

 To  activate a Goto: 

1.   Use the Find Menu to access the Information 

Page for any desired destination and use the 

CLICK STICK

 to highlight the Goto button. 

2.   Press in on the 

CLICK STICK

 to start navigation. 

3.   Observe the Navigation Page, it displays the name 

of your destination, the distance from your current 
location, and a Bearing Pointer indicating the 
direction you should travel. The time required to 
reach your destination displays when you begin to 
travel and establish a predicted rate of movement. 
The Data   Fields at the bottom of the page displays 
information relative to your travel as appropriate for 
the type of data selected to appear in those fi elds. 

4.   Use the 

PAGE  

button or Main Page Menu to access 

the Map Page and observe your movements and a 
dark line indicating the direct path from your cur-
rent location to your destination. 

5.   Use the Bearing Pointer on the Navigation Page to 

maintain travel in the right direction and observe 
distance and time information to monitor your 
progress. 

6.   When you are close to your destination, an “Arriving 

at Destination” message appears. If you move past 
the destination the Bearing Pointer reverses and the 
distance display increases. 

 To  stop  navigation:

1.   Highlight the on-screen Options Menu button at the 

top of the Navigation or Map Page and press in on 
the 

CLICK STICK

2.   Select ‘Stop Navigation’, then press in on the 

CLICK STICK
