There are two ways to create a route:
1. Use existing waypoints that reside in the eTrex.
Choose ‘ROUTE’ on the Menu Page, then add a
waypoint into the route from a list of available
waypoints.
2. Plan a ‘ROUTE’ in MapSource on a PC, and upload
the ‘ROUTE’ to the eTrex. See your GARMIN dealer
for more information on using MapSource (Map
Source is an optional accessory, and is not included
with the eTrex).
In either case, you can navigate to a destination using
‘ROUTE’ if a route has more than two waypoints. A single
waypoint route is only a normal waypoint, not a route. The
eTrex will not allow the ‘FOLLOW’ button to be high-
lighted if there is only one waypoint in the route. When
you select the ‘FOLLOW’ button, a list with two items is
displayed letting you choose where to go. The list will
always show the FIRST (BEGINNING) and the LAST
(END) waypoint in the route. The eTrex will guide you to
the selected final destination following each waypoint in
the route (eTrex has one route). There are two ways to
insert a waypoint into a route. One way is to insert the
waypoint before an existing waypoint in a route. The other
way is to insert the waypoint at the end of the waypoint list
in a route.
To insert a waypoint into a route:
1. Press the PAGE Button and switch to the ‘MENU’
Page. Press the UP or DOWN button and highlight
‘ROUTE’. Press ENTER. The ‘ROUTE’ Page appears.
Press ENTER. The ‘ADD WAYPOINT TO ROUTE’ Page
appears.
2. Press the UP or DOWN button to select the
waypoint of your choice and press ENTER. The
waypoint you selected is placed in the first field on
the ‘ROUTE’ page. Repeat this process until all of the
waypoints you want are entered into the route list.
Press PAGE to get back to the page of your choice.
Routes
