Tristan Darwin Project
GPS Training - Garmin Etrex
ROUTE
This unit will store one route
which is simply a list of waypoints in the
order in which you want to visit them. This is
where you choose which waypoints to
include in your route.
TRACKS
This is where you can see
details of the track you have recorded as
you move along, called a Track Log. The
track currently being made will slowly fill up
the unit’s memory; once the memory is full it
will continue to record the track but will begin
to delete the track recorded right at the start.
You can check how full the memory is at the
top of the screen.
You can save up to 10 track logs you have
made. The unit will ask what time you want
the track record to start; if you cleared the
active track at the start of the trip you can
just tell it to save the entire log. It will save it
with a name using today’s date, but you can
edit this at any time. A saved track can be
used to TRACBACK ie follow your track
back to the start.
Select the waypoint name and you
get the option to edit its name using
the UP/DOWN keys. Confirm with
the ENTER key. (you can’t use the
same name for two different way -
points)
