Navigating Navigating with eTrex Vista A Goto A Track A Route Travel when not on a Goto, Track, or Route as indicated by the 'Pointer Icon' and a dotted line indicating your path of travel. Active Navigation is supported by three of the six Main Pages: the Map Page, Navigation Page and Trip Computer Page. The Map Page graphically shows you map details, your current location, marks your route to a destination with a route line, and leaves a trail (track log) of where you've been. The Navigation Page tells you what direction to go and the direction you are traveling. The Trip Computer Page records and displays travel data, such as the distance you have traveled, your speed, the time spent moving or stopped, and other options can be chosen to display the elevation, the time of day or the time remaining before reaching a destination. There are four methods of navigating when using the eTrex Vista and each is graphically displayed on the Map Page. Goto - A direct path to a selected destination (waypoint, city, address, etc.). Track - A previous path of travel that has been stored (logged) in the eTrex Vista. A Track allows you to repeat a path or to return to your starting point on the same path using the GARMIN TracBack feature. Route - A path to a destination consisting of intermediate stops along the way (waypoints, cities, highway exits, points of interest, intersections, etc.). Travel when not on a Goto, Track or Route This is best described as travel without entering a destination in the eTrex Vista. The Map Page displays your real-time movement as you travel with the unit turned on and receiving satellites. 8
