The eTrex Summit allows you to navigate using one of three methods:
GOTO (discussed
on page 11-12 and page 30), TracBack (discussed on page 38), and routes.
A route is a path of travel between two or more waypoints. The route feature allows the
eTrex Summit to guide you from the first waypoint in the route to each successive waypoint
until you reach your final destination.
The route feature and the GOTO feature are comparable in that they both guide you to
destination waypoints. However, the route feature is more useful for navigating to multiple
points along a path. When you reach one waypoint, the eTrex Summit automatically guides
you to the next waypoint along the route. When you use the ‘GOTO’ feature you have to stop
and select the next waypoint before you start moving.
When creating a route, you select waypoints from the waypoint list and place them into
a route in the sequence that you want to navigate to them. You need at least two waypoints
(up to a maximum of 125) linked together to form a route. You can create and store up to 20
individual routes in your eTrex Summit. Your saved routes are automatically named based on
the first and last waypoints in the route. Saved routes are listed on the Routes Page, with an
arrow indicating which route (if any) is currently active.
When you start your trip, you activate the route feature and the receiver begins navigation
toward the first waypoint in the route. You can then use the Pointer Page to give you steering
guidance.
The ‘ROUTES feature is found on
the Menu Page.
