No wonder I never end up where I intended to go!
I of course meant West from your current position
My apologies to all, I was wrong.
I have just carried out a test on my Garmin 12XL and it does not work in theway I had assumed. The manual is not at all definitive so I've been walking around a bit.
If you set up a GoTo it draws the line from your current position to the waypoint. This line does NOT move as your current position changes, so you can see where you are in relation to your desired track.
There are probably now some puzzled people out on Southsea Common saying "I wander what that nutter was doing walking round in circles?"
