Garmin gpsmap 162 Manuale Utente

GPS is all about marking positions as waypoints and navigating to them using the receiver’s steering 

guidance and map displays.  We’ve already seen how to use the ENTER/MARK key to store our present 
position, so it’s time to move on to the fun part—going to a destination. 

The NAV/MOB key, located on the right side of the keypad below the QUIT key, is the primary 

tool used to select a destination waypoint, TracBack, or a route to navigate.  The NAV/MOB key can 
be used in three primary ways:

•    Pressing 

NAV/MOB

 once displays a list of options from which you can select ‘Go To Waypoint’, 

‘Follow Route’, ‘Follow Track’, or ‘Stop Navigation’.

•    Holding down 

NAV/MOB

, or pressing the key 2 times, activates the MOB (Man OverBoard) 

feature. This marks the point at which the MOB was activated as a waypoint named “MOB” and 
also establishes it as an active “Go To” point.

•    Highlighting an on-screen waypoint or map item as a destination directly from the Map Page 

and pressing 

NAV/MOB

 allows you to graphically select points to “Go To”.

For our simulated trip, you’re going to select a pre-programmed tour route using the fi rst method. 

This will also show you how the MENU key provides tab style options and functions throughout the 
GPSMAP system.  Let’s start by changing the position to where the practice route is located. 

1.   From the Status Page, press the MENU key. The options menu will appear, displaying a menu of 

options and functions for the Status Page.

2.   Press UP or DOWN on the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘Initialize Position’ option and press 

ENTER/MARK.

3.   From the Initialize Position page, press the MENU key. You will see ‘Enter As Text’ highlighted, 

then press ENTER/MARK.

4.   On the Enter Position window, press ENTER/MARK then use the ARROW KEYPAD to enter 

N34°56.800’, W076°24.066’ and press ENTER/MARK when done.
