I don't what the heck I did, but the big red pointing arrow thingy that "USED" to be on the compass page has disappeared.

 

I have treie switching between e Pointer" and "Bearing Pointer" to no avail.

 

Thanks for any help.

I Think you may have pressed the "Stop Navigation" menu entry

 

Try This:

 

Press the "Find" button

Waypoints....Enter

Highlight a Cache....Enter

Goto....Enter

Menu

 

If you see "Resume Navigation" Highlight that and press enter...That should put it back into navigation mode and in the menu you should see "Stop Navigation"...leave it that way.

COGGINS & Drooling... Thanks for the quick reply.

 

I have gone to my "Waypoints" screen and it says "None Found".

 

But I am also at work and trying to get a satellite fix and it can't lock in and get a fix. I guess that may be a problem with finding or getting any waypoints ?

 

But while I have your assistance.... how do I perform a "Hard Reset" to factory defaults on the 76CSx ?

 

Do you know what button combination I need to do to reset everything ?

 

I'll keep fooling with the waypoints and try to turn on the "Navigate" funtion to get that arrow back.

 

Thanks, Tim

OK... I finally got a satellite fix inside my office ( I'm next to a window ) and then I looked up a "Recent Find" and then chose "Go To" and it calculated a route to the destination. When I paged thru to the compass screen.... my Red Arrow was back ! Yaaaa !

 

So is the only way to keep it there to have it going to a waypoint or destination ?

 

Thanks, Tim

Mine shows when I have selected a waypoint and press "GO".

 

Otherwise it won't show because it has no where to point to.

Yes, because the red arrow is not a compass, it's a direction pointer and it needs something to point at. The outer ring with NSEW on it is the compass.

 

Hard reset

It also needs to know where you are, as otherwise there's no place to go from. It may be that you need to set it to "Use with GPS off" to get an arrow from where you were last time.

Thanks for all of the input.

 

The most perplexing thing to me was that I do not know exactly what the heck I did to make the arrow disappear.

 

Not I know what I must have done.... and better yet, I now know how to fix it and get the arrow back.

 

The memberes of these forums are GREAT !
