Getting Started
As mentioned earlier the eTrex Summit will assign a
numeric name at the time a waypoint is created. The
assigned name can be easily changed to something more
meaningful to help in identifying the waypoint.
To change the waypoint name:
1 On the MARK WAYPOINT Page, press the
UP
or
DOWN
Button to highlight the Waypoint Name
‘001’. Press
ENTER.
The EDIT WAYPOINT NAME
Page appears.
2. Press
ENTER
. Using the
UP
or
DOWN
Button,
scroll through the letter selections. Select ‘H’ and
press
ENTER
. Repeat this process and fi nish the
word ‘HOME’.
3. Using the
UP
or
DOWN
Button, highlight the ‘OK’
fi eld and press
ENTER
. The MARK WAYPOINT Page
appears.
4. Using the
UP
or
DOWN
Button, highlight the ‘OK’
fi eld and press
ENTER
. Your location, named HOME,
is now marked and stored in memory.
Now that you’ve marked your location, it’s time to
go for a walk. Press the
PAGE
Button and switch to the
Map Page. Walk in a straight line for 2-3 minutes at a
moderate pace and watch the Map Page.
Your location is shown by the fi gure in the middle of
the screen. As you move, watch the animated fi gure walk,
and a line—called a “track”—appear along the path you
have just covered. Now take a sharp right or left turn and
walk for another 2-3 minutes.
