Garmin GPS 60 Quick Start Guide  

Creating Routes

A route gives you straight-line directions from one point to

another, or from one point to several others. You can create a

simple route by finding a waypoint and selecting ‘Go To’ (see “Find-

ing Places”). You can create more complex routes involving many

points with the Routes Page.

To create a route:

1. Press

PAGE

until you see the Main Menu Page.

Use the

ROCKER

key to highlight Routes and

press

ENTER

. Then press

ENTER

again to

create a new route.

2. Highlight ‘<Select Next Point>’ and press

ENTER

to add a point to your route. The Find

Page appears.

3.

Find a waypoint or other point to add to your

route (see “Finding Places”). When you have

found a point, select ‘Use’ from the Point

Information Page to add the point to your

route.

4.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 to add more points to

your route. When you are finished adding

points, highlight ‘Navigate’ and press

ENTER

to begin using the route.

Marking a Waypoint

A waypoint is any point on the Map Page that you store

in memory. You can mark (create) a waypoint at your current

location, name the waypoint, and save it to use in a route (see

“Creating Routes”).

To mark a waypoint:

1. From the Map Page, press

field and press

3. Enter a name for the waypoint on the

keyboard using the

ROCKER

key and

the

ENTER

key (see “Entering Data”

on the previous panel).

4. Highlight ‘OK’ and press

ENTER

to

save the waypoint.

Creating and Viewing Tracks

Tracks are like little footprints—they show you exactly where

you have moved. Tracks appear as a small dotted line on the Map

Page. Your GPS 60 automatically creates tracks as you move and

displays the dotted line, called a track log.

To view tracks:

1. Press the

PAGE

key until you see the Map

Page.

2. Walk away from your present location for

at least three minutes.

3. Press

IN

to zoom in on the Map Page until

you can see your track log.

Finding Places

Using the Find Page, you can search for waypoints, geocache

points, or cities. If you load optional MapSource

®

data on your GPS 60, you can search for restaurants, lodging, exits,

services, and more.

FIND

key. The Find Page appears.

Highlight ‘Waypoints’ and press

list and highlight the waypoint you want to

find. Press

to select the waypoint.

The Waypoint Information Page appears.
