How to - record a track using an eTrex 10/20/30

These notes are here because the routines needed are hidden in the menus of the GPS

There is no advice in the Garmin operating manual for the unit

1.....Zoom buttons

2.....Back button

3.....Joystick

4.....Menu button

5.....Power on/off

Introduction

To record and store a track, the stages are.....

Remove any previous data from the GPS memory1.

Re-set the odometer (Optional, but usual)2.

Wa k around the chosen path3.

Store the data on the GPS4.

1 Removing previous data

If you do not remove previous data then it wi end up being attached to your new track. If the

o d data was recorded e swhere, then the two sets wi be joined by a straight ine.

To record and store a track, begin by.....

Switch on and wait unti the sate ites are ocated ....(Wait not strictly necessary)

Press the Menu button to get a menu ooking somewhat ike this one.....

Use joystick to go to "Track Manager" on the menu and press

Se ect "Current Track" and press joystick

Se ect "C ear Current Track"☆ and press joystick

☆ (This may need scrolling to see the menu item on some models)

You have now c eared the GPS working memory (an essentia task)

Press the Menu button for Main Menu

2 Re-set the Odometer

This is usua , a though there may be cases where you wish to keep the tota s.

Begin from the Main Menu

Use joystick to se ect the "Trip Computer" and press the joystick

Press the Menu button again

Use joystick to go to "Reset" and press the joystick

You have now re-set the Odometer (an optional task)

Press the Back button twice to get the main menu

3 Record the walk

Simp y wa k the route with the GPS in a top pocket of your rucksack or equiva ent.

B ocking of the sate ite signa can occur with meta ayers and water.

(Tree eaves and peop e both contain water. Rucksack materia s do not.)

Fee free to use the menus during the wa k: the track wi record as a background task.

4 Save the track

At the end of the wa k save the track immediate y: you do not want any extra points added!

So....

Go to the Main Menu

Go to "Track Manager"

Se ect "Current Track"

Se ect "Save Track", maybe with the appropriate options

ll three types allow saving to GPS memory. But my earlier hopes are dashed...

Sadly there is no option on the eTrex 20 and eTrex 30 to save tracks on their microSD card.

N.B. Easiest fi e name is the date (Defau t Name)

Scroll directly to "Done" and press joystick.

If you suspect you are in the wrong menu then press the "Back" button on the upper R of the GPS to get the ain enu and proceed from there.

Notes

1 To transfer the fi es to your computer, a you need to do is to connect the GPS to the

computer with the ead provided by the manufacturer. The GPS wi appear as an additiona drive

and you wi see the fi e there. You can copy it or move it to the computer.

2 In the Garmin eTrex 10/20/30 mode s, for the first time, the fi e format is GPX - a pub ic

domain format. A very we come step forward! Such fi es can be used with a ot of software and

on- ine mapping.

3 In the menu images of the notes above, p ease be aware that the menu items can be

re-sequenced by the owner of the GPS.
