The amount of data transferable is 24 MB for the eTrex Summit HC and Venture HC, for the eTrex Vista HCx and Legend HCx it is determined by the size of the microSD card. Use the USB Interface Cable, provided with the unit, to transfer MapSource data from a computer to the microSD card when installed in the eTrex. Purchase additional microSD cards at your local electronics supplier, or see the Garmin Web site: www.garmin.com for compatible MapSource products and pre-loaded microSD cards.

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

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.
