How Do I "project" A Waypoint On A Garmen Etrex

[CoCoNutz]

I'm trying to solve a puzzle on a multi-stage cache and it requires that I "project" a waypoint, and I have no idea how to do this. The puzzle is similar to this ( actual details changes so as not to spoil it for others ).

 

The next stage is located exactly 1/2 mile due south ( True ) from

N 43 12.456 W 72 22.696

 

I'm using a Garmin Venture

 

Help, Please

Do you have the manual for your Venture?

 

Setting the heading to True (vs. magnetic) is described on page 43; projecting a waypoint is described on page 26.

On my Garmin 60C, it's MARK->MENU->Project Waypoint. Since the distance is in miles, you just enter .5 and 180° for south. For what its worth, if you need to project in other units, there is a hidded menu under the "mi" indicator. If you cursor over it and hit ENTR, you can change units to mi, ft, yd, km, m and nm (miles, feet, yards, kilometers, meters or nautical miles). There is also the ability to change from degrees to other types of units, IIRC.

if I remember good on my legend I had to go on find/waypoint/the waypoint you want/then click on the sub menu on the top right and there will be an option which will ask you to project waypoint.
