Garmin eTrex Venture Manuale Utente

8

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.
