Getting Started Follow the Pointer The pointer tells you what direction you should move. When the pointer is pointing right, just move right until the pointer is pointing straight up and points to the moving direction line (see picture below). When the pointer points straight up as shown, you're on track! 18 Guidance by GARMIN It is time to let the eTrex Summit guide you back to the waypoint we named 'HOME' using the GOTO function. The GOTO function provides you with a straight line navigation path to your selected destination. To Start a GOTO: 1. Using the PAGE Button switch to the MENU Page. 2. Using the UP or DOWN Button, highlight 'WAYPOINTS' and press ENTER. The WAYPOINTS Page appears. 3. Using the UP or DOWN Button, select the tab containing 'HOME' and press ENTER. 4. Using the UP or DOWN Button, select 'HOME' and press ENTER. The REVIEW WAYPOINT Page appears. 5. Using the UP or DOWN Button, highlight 'GOTO', and press ENTER.3 The Compass Page appears and you're ready to begin navigating! Heading in the Right Direction The eTrex Summit will guide you back to where you started using the Pointer Page. The pointer shows the direction of the destination waypoint. Walk in the direction the arrow is pointing until the arrow points to the top of the compass ring. If the arrow points to the right, you need to go to the right. If the arrow points to the left, go left. When the arrow is pointing straight up, you are on the correct track! The destination name, distance to the destination and time to reach your destination are displayed at the top of the screen. The sensor that is being used, Compass or GPS, to determine your heading is displayed above the pointer. The speed you are traveling is shown at the bottom of the screen. Once you are getting close to your destination, eTrex Summit will give you the message "ARRIVING DESTINATION".
