This section explains some of the more common 

operations performed with your eTrex, including 

creating and using waypoints, using the Find Menu, 

and how to create and use tracks and routes.

Waypoints are locations or landmarks you record and 

store in your GPS. They are locations you might want 

to return to later. You can add waypoints to routes and 

even create a Go To directly to the selected waypoint.
You can create waypoints using three methods. You 

can press the MARK key while at a location, create a 

waypoint on the Map Page, or enter coordinates for a 

waypoint manually.

Use the MARK key to quickly capture your current 

location to create a new waypoint. You must have a 

valid position (2D or 3D) fix to mark your current 

location.

1.  Press and hold the 

MARK key until the Mark 

Waypoint Page appears. A default three-digit 

name and symbol are assigned to the new 

waypoint.

2.  To accept the waypoint with the default 

information, highlight 

OK, and press Enter. 

OR 

To change any information on the Mark 

Waypoint Page, highlight the appropriate 

field, and press 

Enter to open the on-screen 

keypad. After entering and confirming your 

changes, highlight 

OK, and press Enter.
