Navigating in Marine Mode
There are several ways to begin navigating to a point:
• Select a point on the map, and press NAV
.
• Press NAV
to activate a new route using the Find Menu or
activate a saved route or track.
• Press the
FIND key to search for a particular item and create
a route to it.
Marine Mode and Automotive Mode are similar. Most of the
features discussed here also apply to Automotive Mode.
When you are actively navigating, you see a magenta line that
always runs from your current location to the destination on the Map
Page. You can use the Map Page, Compass Page, Highway Page,
and Position Data Page to help navigate to your destination.
Initiating Navigation
There are several different ways to initiate navigation. Press the
NAV key to open the Navigate menu. Using one of the navigation
options, you can quickly create a route to your destination. In
Marine Mode, you can initiate Man OverBoard (MOB) navigation,
which places a waypoint in the location and then navigates you back
to that location. You can also initiate navigation through the Find
menu.
