Navigation Methods- Overview
Active Navigation is supported by three of the fi ve
Main Pages:
The Map Page graphically shows you map details,
your current location, your elevation, marks your route to
a destination with a route line, and leaves a trail (track
log) of where you’ve been.
The Navigation Page tells you what direction to go
and the direction you are traveling.
The Trip Computer Page records and displays travel
data, like your speed, the distance you have traveled, or
the distance to travel, and the time of day or the time
remaining before reaching a destination and more.
Methods of Navigating using the eTrex Legend
There are four methods of navigating when using the
eTrex Legend and each is graphicaly displayed on the Map
Page.
Goto - A direct path to a map location, waypoint,
city, address, etc.)
Track - A previous path of travel that has been stored
(logged) in the eTrex Legend. A Track allows you to
repeat a path or to return to your starting point on the
same path using the GARMIN TrackBack feature.
Route - A path to a destination consisting of land-
marks along the way (waypoints, cities, highway exits,
points of interest, intersections, etc.).
Travel when not on a Goto, Track or Route - This
is best described as travel without entering a destina-
tion in the eTrex Legend. The Map Page displays your
real-time movement as you travel with the unit turned
on and receiving satellites.
