When your worksheets get quite large, you may want to jump right to a specific cell or named range, without the need to search for the range. Excel allows you to do this very quickly. If you want to select a named range, simply use the Name Box pull-down list (just above Column A) to choose the named range you want selected.
You can also use the Go To dialog box. Press F5 (or Ctrl+G) and the Go To dialog box appears. Select a range in the list displayed, or enter a specific cell reference (or range reference) to which you want to jump. When you click on OK, the specified region is selected.

I'm not clear what you mean by "Logs the unnamed ranges". In my expericments,the only thing being logged in the GoTo box is the cell or range FROM which a jump (or GoTo) was made. There was no mention of a range to which the jump had been made, unless it also happened to be the starting point for another jump.

Of course one does need the GOTO feature.
Only GOTO logs the unnamed ranges.

With all due respect - one does not need the GOTO feature.
In the same "Name Box", mentioned in this tip, just type(!) the cells reference (if you did not defined it as a Named range).

Got a version of Excel that uses the ribbon interface (Excel 2007 or later)? This site is for you! If you use an earlier version of Excel, visit our ExcelTips site focusing on the menu interface.
