+StarBrand Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 It is not intuitive at all but to enter waypoints you need to "mark" your current position and then edit that set of coordinates to the ones you want to go to. Quote Link to comment

carlz0r Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 On my etrex (which is a different model, but I think the process could be the same) I go to the map screen, and hold the button that I use to select things from a menu (in my case it's holding down the thumbstick) until the dialog comes up to save my position as a waypoint. Then I just go down to the coordinates, and edit them to the coordinates that I need. Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Alternatively, you could import coords via the serial cable. (Wow. I didn't realize that the yellows were still serial.) Here's the manual. Quote Link to comment

Here's the manual. Only the original eTrex and the original H. All the others seem to be USB. Certainly, my Venture HC is USB. Quote Link to comment

I realize that it's not logical, but I don't consider the Ventures to be 'Yellow'. Quote Link to comment
