  1. Method 1. Walking AWAY from the know location to the required distance with a bearing 180 degrees the opposite direction. for example. Set you GPSr for "The 1st Geo-Keteer *Athos*" but walk away from it .14 miles bearing 117degrees. (297-180=117) The bearing number is usually defaulted on your arrow screen but you may have to make changes. Method 2 Project a waypoint using your etrex Legend GPSr,. I think ALL 'etrex GPSr' models have this feature built in. For example a. Call up "The 1st Geo-Keteer *Athos*" (The location you want to do a projection from)(DO NOT hit the "map" or "go to" buttons.) b. Next, press the menu button on the left side. c. scroll to "Project Waypoint" d. enter the "degrees and distance" 297 degrees and .14 miles e. tab over to "go to" f. start walking. Method 3 Use the GSAK program. Right click on the cache you want to do a projection from. Choose "project waypoint" from the choices enter the distance and the bearing data and hit enter. It will give you the exact coordinates. Method 4 If there is more than one location you can project from to get to the same goal location, like in the Geo-Keteer Series, you can eyeball it just using just compass. However the final's general location will need to be visible from each site. From the 1st location using the bearing and distance pick a landmark. do the same from the second location. Where those two routes intersect is the location of the cache.
