Pointer Page Options

In addition to the basics covered on page 5, there are several other Pointer Page options:

•  Sight 'N Go: This feature allows the user to visually locate a landmark and lock its magnetic 

bearing. Once a bearing is locked you have the option of creating a projection waypoint or 
navigating along the locked bearing. Sight ‘N’ Go requires a GPS fix and a calibrated compass.

1.  Press ENTER to activate the options list.
2.  Press the 

UP or DOWN button to highlight ‘SIGHT ’N GO’, then press ENTER.

3.  Hold the unit level and line up the sighting marks on the case with a distant landmark.
4.  Press 

ENTER to lock the magnetic bearing.

5.  Press the

 UP or DOWN button to select either ‘RE-SIGHT’ or ‘PROJECT’.  If you select ‘RE-

SIGHT’ you will  return to step 3.  If you selected ‘PROJECT’ proceed to step 6.

A Projection Waypoint is a waypoint created at a specified distance from the 
eTrex Summit’s current GPS location.

ENTER to activate the drop down number list.

8.  Press the UP or DOWN button to select the correct digit, then press ENTER. When all 

digits are entered correctly, highlight ‘OK’ and press 

ENTER.

9.  To save the waypoint, highlight ‘OK’ and press
