Discovering the Fun of GPS Navigation
Discovering the fun of using your eTrex Summit is as
easy as taking a quick walk around an open outdoor area.
In this brief exercise, you'll mark your current location
(your home for example), travel a short distance away,
and then have the eTrex Summit guide you back to where
you started (to get the most out of this exercise, make sure
to walk for at least the time noted for each step).

Creating a Waypoint

The fi rst step in the exercise is to mark your location
as a waypoint so you can return to it later.
F
NOTE: The eTrex Summit must be "READY TO
NAVIGATE" before you mark a waypoint.
To mark a waypoint:
1. Press and hold the ENTER Button to activate the
MARK WAYPOINT Page.
The waypoint is assigned a numeric name at the time
it is created. You could press ENTER and save the
waypoint now, but there are a couple of other things that
you should take a look at.
The eTrex Summit comes equipped with 29 different
waypoint symbols that can be displayed on the map to
help quickly identify the waypoints.
To change the waypoint symbol:
1. On the MARK WAYPOINT Page, using the UP or
DOWN Button, highlight the small fl ag symbol and
press ENTER. Using the UP or DOWN Button, scroll
through the symbols and highlight the house symbol.
Press ENTER.
