Navigating
Active Navigation is supported by three of the fi ve
Main Pages: the Map Page, Navigation Page and Trip
Computer Page.
The Map Page graphically shows you map details,
your current location, 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, such as the distance you have traveled, your speed,
the time spent moving or stopped, and other options can
be chosen to display the elevation, the time of day or the
time remaining before reaching a destination.
There are three methods of navigating when using
the eTrex Venture and each is graphically displayed on the
Map Page.
Goto - A direct path to a selected destination
(waypoint, city, and Point of Interest).
Track - A previous path of travel that has been stored
(logged) in the eTrex Venture. A Track allows you to
repeat a path or to return to your starting point on
the same path using the Garmin TracBack feature.
Route - A path to a destination consisting of interme-
diate stops along the way (waypoints, cities, highway
exits, points of interest, intersections, etc.).
Travel that does not involve navigating on a Goto,
Track or Route is best explained as travel without entering
a destination in the eTrex Venture. The Map Page displays
your real-time movement as you travel with the unit
turned on and receiving satellite signals.
