Guidance by Garmin
The eTrex guides you to a destination using a GOTO
(GOTO means Going TO a destination in a direct line).
Now let’s use the GOTO feature and the Pointer Page to
travel back to our starting location.
To Start a GOTO:
1. Press the PAGE Button and switch to the ‘MENU’
Page.
2. Press the UP or DOWN Button and highlight
‘WAYPOINTS’.
3. Press ENTER. The ‘WAYPOINTS’ Page appears.
4. Press the UP or DOWN Button and select the tab
containing ‘HOME’ and press ENTER.
5. Press the UP or DOWN Button to select ‘HOME’
and press ENTER. The ‘REVIEW WAYPOINT’ Page
appears.
6. Press the UP or DOWN Button to highlight the
‘GOTO’, and press ENTER.
The Navigation Page appears and you’re now ready
for the eTrex to guide you back to your starting location!
Heading in the Right Direction
The eTrex will guide you back to where you started
using the Navigation Page. The pointer tells you the
direction to the destination. Walk in the direction the
arrow is pointing until the arrow points to the top of the
compass ring. If the arrow points to the right, you need
to go to the right. If the arrow points to the left, go left.
When the arrow is pointing straight up, you are on the
correct track!
The arrow tells you
what direction you
should move. When
the arrow is pointing
right as shown here,
just move right until
the arrow is pointing
straight up and points
to the moving direction
line (see picture below).
When the pointer points
straight up as shown,
you’re on track!
