Discovering the Fun of GPS Navigation
Discovering the fun of using your eTrex Summit is as
easy as taking a quick walk around an open outdoor area.
In this brief exercise, you’ll mark your current location
(your home for example), travel a short distance away, and
then have the eTrex Summit guide you back to where you
started (to get the most out of this exercise, make sure to
walk for at least the time noted for each step).
Creating a Waypoint
The first step in the exercise is to mark your location as
a waypoint so you can return to it later.
To Mark a Waypoint:
1.
Press and hold the
ENTER
Button to activate the
MARK WAYPOINT Page.
The waypoint is assigned a numeric name at the time it
is created. You could press
ENTER
and save the
waypoint now, but there are a couple of other things that
you should take a look at.
The eTrex Summit comes equipped with 29 different
waypoint symbols that can be displayed on the map to
help quickly identify the waypoints.
To change the waypoint symbol:
1. On the MARK WAYPOINT page, using the
UP
or
DOWN
Button, highlight the small flag symbol and
press
ENTER
. Using the
UP
or
DOWN
Button, scroll
through the symbols and highlight the house symbol.
Press
ENTER
.
The Latitude and Longitude is
displayed at the bottom of the
MARK WAYPOINT Page and
the REVIEW WAYPOINT
Page.
Getting
Started

The eTrex Summit must be “READY
