How exactly do you enter a gps reference point (e.g. 37.41918N / 11.04218W) and navigate to it? The online manual is not clear.

I have never tried to do that, so I don't know how or if it is capable. Sorry I'm no help.

First you must set up your GPS to the same format of the coordinates you are trying to put in it. 1. Go to SETUP&gt;UNITS&gt;POSITION FORMAT and change the Position Format to the format of the coordinates you are trying to input. In your case it would be "H D.D" (Decimal Degree Format) To navigate to the coordinates, hold the enter/mark button. Then Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the coordinates. Actually, follow this list. A. Firmly Hold enter/mark B. Use your up/down arrows to highlight the coordinates at the bottom C. Once you've highlighted the coordinates, Press enter/mark once D. Use the arrow and enter button to edit the coordinates. E. Once you've put the right coordinates, press the arrow keys to highlight OK F. Hit Enter. G. (Optional, give the coordinate a name. I.e. Cache. Home. Entrance. Trail fork. etc) Default names are numbers starting with 001. I suggest naming your coordinates, if you don't name them, have a piece of paper that tells you what coordinate is what. I.e. 001 = Home 002 = Work 003= Secret Dead Body H. Once you've entered the name, or are satisfied with your coordinates, highlight "OK?" I. Hit enter. J. Firmly Hold "goto" (It should open up all your waypoints grouped by the first letters of the name). K. Select the group in which your waypoint falls (0-9, A-H, I-P, Q-Z) L. Highlight your waypoint. M. Hit Enter/Mark. N. It will take you to your compass page, it will show the direction and distance to/from your waypoint. Tip: I suggest investing in USGS MGRS maps and using your GPS to figure out where you are on a physical map...I don't suggest using this GPS as your sole method of navigation, as it may lead you off a cliff or up a mountain, as it has no real map data, just the ability to know your coordinates and elevation.

The manual Is small, making it hard to read. I think that when you enter a destination address, you to choose a country. I assume that that would enable use globally.

Yes. I can understand your confusion since unlike some GPS models it doesn't have a dedicated "go to" button, but the functionality is there.

I use the SC version. You can locate a point by stand Lat and Long designation, many foreign grid and US grid formats for the USNGS. The US grid appeared to be 6 digit. I hope this helps. Otherwise call Garmin USA and talk to technical for more specifics. They will glad to help.

Not sure if I totally understand your question, but I will try to answer what I think you are asking. When you are starting out on a new route, erase the route that is currently programmed. To do this, touch Menu, and then touch Stop (bottom right corner i believe). Now you are ready to set your new destination and the GPS will route you from where you currently are to the destination you select.

Yes. If you go to the options menu at the top left of the screen then select settings. At the bottom of the returned settings screen select the GPS settings. Turn on any alerts you want to hear. Click on the green button with an I in the middle if you want information about what each option does.

Search the internet for "Garmin Support", click manuals and click on the required information.

As far as I can tell, the maps are current. You get regular updates after you register your GPS (just log in with it connected to your computer).

Hello...there are 3 buttons on the computer. The button on the far left must be held down until your trip odometer resets. Some times I have had to push and hold...let up on button....and then push again. Please don't try to use the instruction manual that came with the odometer. The instructions that are written on the back of the computer are much easier to follow.Sure hope this helps.Have a great weekend,Barb

the way it's supposed to work is to press the middle left button. keep it still outside. it should say searching for gps. then when it finds satellite it will let you pick pace or time or clock from the middle right button. then the top right button will start the distance
