Methods of navigating to a destination
• If you select the Go To button on the Waypoint
Page or other Find Menu items, the eTrex
creates a straight path (point to point) from
your current location to that location.
• If you select the Navigate button on a Route
Page, the eTrex creates a route composed of
several user waypoints or Find Menu items,
with the last being your destination. It navigates
directly from point to point. Before each turn
in the route, a turn page shows a guidance
message and graphic of the turn. You can view
the turns at any time by pressing up or down on
the Rocker while the route is active.
• Both navigation methods change when you
select the Follow Roads option on the Routing
Setup Page. Both Go To navigation and point-
to-point routing become routes that allow you
to navigate using roads.
The routes use existing roadways (either those
in the basemap or from downloaded detail
mapping) to automatically calculate a route to
your destination. Turns on roadways are added
to the Active Route Page and are preceded by a
guidance message with a graphic of the turn. If
there are not enough roads at your location to
calculate a route, a message appears.
Navigating a Route
After you create a route, you can begin navigation
immediately or save it to the Saved Routes list.
To navigate a saved route:
1. Press the Menu key twice to open the Main
Menu.
