Profiles

Profiles are a collection of settings that optimize your device based on how you are using it. For example, the 
settings and views are different when you use the device for hunting than when geocaching.
Profiles are associated with the activity screens, including the home screen.
When you are using a profile and you change settings, such as data fields or units of measurement, the changes 
are saved automatically as part of the profile.

Creating a Custom Profile

You can customize your settings and data fields for a particular activity or trip.
Select Setup > Profiles > Create Profile > OK.
Customize your settings and data fields.

Editing a Profile Name

Select Setup > Profiles.
Select a profile.
Select Edit Name.
Enter the new name.

Deleting a Profile

NOTE: Before you can delete the active profile, you must activate a different profile. You cannot delete a profile 
while it is active.
Select Setup > Profiles.
Select a profile.
Select Delete.

Resetting Data and Settings

Select Setup > Reset.
Select an option:

• To reset data specific to a trip, such as distance and averages, select Reset Trip Data.
• To delete all saved waypoints, select Delete All Waypoints.
• To clear the data recorded since you started your current activity, select Clear Current Activity.

NOTE: The device continues to record new data for the current activity.

• To reset only the settings for your current activity profile to the factory default values, select Reset Profile 

Settings.

• To reset all device settings and profiles to the factory default values, select Reset All Settings.

NOTE: Resetting all settings clears all geocaching activity from your device. It does not remove your saved 
user data, such as tracks and waypoints.

• To remove all saved user data and reset all settings on the device to the factory default values, select 

Delete All.
NOTE: Deleting all settings removes your personal data, history, and saved user data, including tracks and 
waypoints.

Restoring Default Page Settings

Open a page for which you will restore the settings.
Select MENU > Restore Defaults.
