Use existing waypoints that reside in the eTrex. Choose 'ROUTE' on the 'MENU' Page, then add a waypoint into the route from a list of available waypoints. 2. Plan a 'ROUTE' in MapSource® on a PC, and use "Save To Device" to download the 'ROUTE' to the eTrex. See your Garmin dealer for more information on using MapSource (MapSource is an optional accessory, and is not included with the eTrex). In either case, you can navigate to a destination using 'ROUTE' if a route has more than two waypoints. A single waypoint route is only a normal waypoint, not a route. The eTrex will not allow the 'FOLLOW' button to be highlighted if there is only one waypoint in the route. When you select the 'FOLLOW' button, a list with two items is displayed letting you choose where to go. The list will always show the FIRST (BEGINNING) and the LAST (END) waypoint in the route. The eTrex will guide you to the selected final destination following each waypoint in the route (the eTrex has one route). To create a route from the waypoints list: 1. Press the PAGE Button and switch to the 'MENU' Page. Press the UP or DOWN Button and highlight 'ROUTE'. Press ENTER. The 'ROUTE' Page appears. Press ENTER. The 'ADD WAYPOINT TO ROUTE' Page appears. 2. Press the UP or DOWN Button to select the waypoint of your choice and press ENTER. The waypoint you selected is placed in the first field on the 'ROUTE' Page. Repeat this process until all of the waypoints you want are entered into the route list. Press PAGE to get back to the page of your choice. There are two ways to insert a waypoint into an existing route. One way is to insert the waypoint before an existing waypoint in a route. The other way is to insert the waypoint at the end of the waypoint list in a route.

Choose ‘ROUTE’ on the ‘MENU’ Page, then add
a waypoint into the route from a list of available

waypoint route is only a normal waypoint, not a route.
The eTrex will not allow the ‘FOLLOW’ button to be
highlighted if there is only one waypoint in the route.
When you select the ‘FOLLOW’ button, a list with two
items is displayed letting you choose where to go. The list
will always show the FIRST (BEGINNING) and the LAST
