O. C. [. . . ] Highlight the desired waypoint, and press GOTO. Press ENTER. Main Menu-- Nearest & Proximity Waypoint Pages The compass heading (BRG) and distance (DST) to the nine nearest waypoints are updated continuously. Proximity Waypoint Page The GPS 12CX's proximity waypoint function warns you when you are getting too close to hazardous waypoints. This function allows you to create up to nine proximity waypoints and designate an alarm circle for each waypoint. If you enter this circle, a warning message will alert you. To enter a proximity waypoint from the Main Menu Page: 1. Highlight `PROXIMITY WPTS' and press ENTER. Highlight the first empty waypoint field and press ENTER. The Proximity Alarm will trigger when the distance to the waypoint is smaller than the distance entered in the `DST' field. 3. Use the ROCKER to scroll through stored waypoints until the desired waypoint appears. The distance (DST) field will be automatically highlighted. Press ENTER and enter the desired distance. To review or remove a proximity waypoint: 1. Using the ROCKER, select a proximity waypoint and press ENTER. Highlight `REVIEW?' or `REMOVE?' and press ENTER. Quickly edit or remove proximity waypoints, by highlighting the waypoint name and pressing ENTER. If `REVIEW?' is chosen, the waypoint page will appear, and you may make any changes to the selected waypoint. If `REMOVE?' is chosen, the proximity waypoint will be removed from the list. Press QUIT or PAGE to return to the Main Menu Page. 28 Selecting a GOTO Destination The GPS 12CX provides four ways to navigate to a destination: 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 present position. To activate the GOTO function: 1. Select the waypoint that you want to navigate to and press ENTER. REFERENCE GOTO & MOB Once a GOTO waypoint has been activated, the Compass Page or Highway Page will provide steering guidance to the destination until either the GOTO is cancelled or the unit has resumed navigating the active route. To cancel an active GOTO: 1. Highlight `CANCEL GOTO?', and press ENTER. Activating a Direct GOTO Man Overboard Function The GPS 12CX's man overboard function (MOB) lets you simultaneously mark and set a course to a position for quick response to passing positions. To activate the MOB mode: 1. The GOTO waypoint page will appear with `MOB' selected. Cancelling an active GOTO The GPS 12CX will now guide you to the MOB waypoint until the MOB GOTO is cancelled. If you want to save the MOB waypoint, be sure to rename it because it will be overwritten the next time a MOB is activated. Man Overboard Function 29 REFERENCE TracBack Navigation GARMIN's patented TracBack feature allows you to quickly retrace your path using the track log automatically stored in the receiver. This feature eliminates the need to mark waypoints along the way and manually create and activate a route back to where you began your trip.
