This completes a basic explanation of the page
features of the eTrex.
Discovering the Fun of GPS Navigation
Discovering how to use your eTrex is as easy as taking
a quick walk around an open outdoor area. In this brief
exercise, you’ll mark your current location (your home
for example), travel a short distance away, and then have
the eTrex guide you back to where you started (to get the
most out of this exercise, make sure to walk for at least
the time noted for each step).

as a waypoint so you can return to it later.

more meaningful such as HOME.
