[. . . ] · If your track log's changes in distance and direction are too complex, 50 waypoints may not mark your path accurately. The receiver then assigns the 50 waypoints to the most significant points of your track, and simplifies segments with fewer changes in direction. The MOB function allows you to quickly activate a navigation back to a location. To stop TracBack navigation: 1. Press the NAV key, highlight `Stop Navigation' and press ENTER/MARK. For more information on setting up the Track options and saved tracks, see pages 59-60. MOB The GPSMAP 182/182C/232's Man OverBoard function (MOB) lets you simultaneously mark and set a course to a position for quick response to emergency situations. To activate the MOB function: 1. Press the ENTER/MARK key to confirm and begin navigating to the MOB position. Highlight `Yes' and press ENTER/MARK to stop navigation. Once a MOB has been activated, a `MOB' waypoint with an international MOB symbol will be created and the unit will be on an active navigation to that point. The MOB waypoint will be stored in the waypoint list and may be deleted like any other waypoint. To stop navigation to the MOB position: 1. Press the NAV key, highlight `Stop Navigation' and press ENTER/MARK. 40 Routes The last way to navigate to a destination is to create a user-defined route. The Garmin GPSMAP 182/182C/232 system lets you create and store up to 50 reversible routes (numbered 1-50), with up to 50 (254 on 182C) waypoints each. The first way to the `Edit on Map' from the Route Edit map Page, allowing you to see each route graphically on-screen as you create, review, or modify the route. The second way is to `Edit as Text' from the Route Review Page, allowing you to see a list of the waypoints as you create, review, or modify the route. All of the GPSMAP 182/182C/232's route functions are accessed through the Main Menu Page or the NAV key. To create a route graphically from the Route Edit Map Page: 1.

To add an existing waypoint or map item to the route, use the map cursor to highlight the desired waypoint or map item on screen and press ENTER/MARK. To add a new waypoint to the route, use the map cursor to select the desired map position and press ENTER/MARK. You may also change the name and symbol of the new waypoint (see page 32). As you add each new waypoint to the route, the data window at the top of the map display will show the waypoint/map item name, bearing and distance from your location, and coordinates of the cursor. The bottom of the display will show you the number of available and used points. A route line will appear on the map to indicate each completed leg, and a dotted line will appear to indicate the distance and bearing to the arrow cursor from the last route waypoint. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have finished defining all route waypoints. When finished press QUIT twice to return to the Route List Page or press MENU, highlight `Edit as Text' and press ENTER/MARK to return to the Route Review Page.
