Lightweight, waterproof, accurate Takes a minute or two to input coordinates User friendly, light weight, solid and waterproof.. Consumption (use rechargable batteries) Inexpensive, durable and user friendly. Day glow yellow.

If you field trial, or hunt with your dogs, this collar is priceless. AKC has approved it for trials... Easy to use even with big fingers due to the large screen size. There are no maps at all on it, which is not an issue unless you really need them. I pair this with a Mio Digiwalker and do just fine.

The Garmin Astro GPS Dog Tracking System lets hunters and sportsmen spend their time looking for game, rather than looking for their dog. Three, in general representative of the quality of the brand, brand is important. Design Design Nokia 6600 Slide are made with the tiny slide concept. Models are also more trendy. However.

Only gets you home I was new to GPS, and bought this thinking it would be a no-frills, easy-to-use unit. I suppose this is the case, but. Garmin is stone age What a piece of junk. The unit is so slow it takes minutes to draw a map at moderate level of detail. Garmin software is terrible.
kg_hammer 1:59am on Monday, June 14th, 2010 
This GPS system works well and has the additional features of Bluetooth and real-time traffic guidance to provide assistance when needed. Very good GPS device for the money. Has features of more expensive units like traffic and bluetooth connection.

The Garmin eTrex Handheld GPS Receiver is a great GPS for anyone who has little to no experience with GPS units and wants to become familiar with one.

Creating a Route

Routing creates a sequence of waypoints that lead you to your final destination. The eTrex stores 50 routes with up to 250 points each. Create or modify a route using the Routes page, and add waypoints to a route. Create complex routes using MapSource mapping.

Route Page

Route on the Map Page
To create a waypoint on a saved track:

1. Press MENU twice > Routes. 2. Select New > <Select Next Point>. 3. Use the Find Menu to select a route waypoint from one of the Find groups. 4. Select Use to add it to the route. 5. Select Navigate.

To create a route:

Methods for routing you to a destination If you select Go To on the Waypoint page, or for other Find items, a straight path is created. If you select Navigate when on a Route page, the eTrex uses a route made of waypoints or Find Menu items. It navigates directly from point to point. When using an eTrex HCx unit, both navigation methods change when you select the Follow Roads option on the Routing Setup page. Both Go To navigation and point-to-point allow you to Auto-route using roads. Auto-routing uses roadways in the map database to automatically calculate a route to your destination. Turns on roadways are preceded by a guidance message with a graphic of the turn.

Using Auto-Routing

(Auto-Routing is a feature available only with the eTrex Vista HCx and Legend HCx.) This feature is enabled when using City Navigator mapping data. When you select a destination, and select Go To, you are queried, Follow Road or Off Road. Using Follow Roads increases the number of turns and shows an Active Route page. Select Off Road to view only a list of route points. A Calculating Route message appears until the route calculation is complete. Your route appears as a magenta line overlaying the map.
