Garmin gpsmap 172 Manuale Utente

1.   Press NAV. The option list page appears. (If you were selecting a single waypoint to navigate 

to rather than a route, you could highlight the waypoint on the map, press NAV and then press 
ENTER.)

2.   Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘Follow Route’ option. Press ENTER to confirm.
3.   The Select Route page appears, with the ‘GPSMAP TOUR’ route highlighted. 
4.   Press ENTER then highlight ‘Activate’ and press ENTER again.  

1.  Repeatedly press the IN key until the 3 nm scale displays. 

You may also hold the IN or OUT keys down to quickly scroll through the map scales. The Map 

Page should now display five waypoints chained together in a simple route, with your boat at the first 
route waypoint.

A data field at the top of the page now displays the speed, distance to the second route waypoint, 

and a compass ribbon which shows you which way to go. To get started, let’s enter a speed for our 
vessel, which we can do from the Main Menu Page.

1.   Press the MENU key twice to display the Main Menu Page.
2.   Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘Setup’ tab, then press RIGHT then DOWN until the field 

below the word ‘Speed’ is highlighted on the ‘System’ submenu tab and press ENTER.

3.   Use the ARROW KEYPAD to enter a speed of 40 knots.
4.   Press ENTER to finish, and PAGE until you return to the Map Page.

Once a speed has been entered, you’ll notice that the map automatically begins to move slowly, 

keeping your boat centered on the display. The direction of movement, also called ‘track’, is controlled 
by the simulator.
