Engraverwilliam Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I just acquired one of these. http://www.magellangps.com/assets/manuals/...n_series_en.pdf Ive been messing with it for an hour and STILL cannot figure out how to ENTER my OWN coords into it so i can go find caches. Im ready to tear my hair out. Could someone peruse the above link and tell me what part explains this process? Ive found the part on how to access the waypoints once it is entered and how to set my current position as a waypoint.....but still cannot enter my own. Thank you community! Quote Link to comment
+Knight2000 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) Press and hold GOTO on the bottom left I think. Then edit the coords. *edit to add it is page 13 in the manual. Great unit. I have an Oregon and I often find myself using a Meridian of some sort. (I have 5. ) Edited April 13, 2010 by Knight2000 Quote Link to comment

+FreeBird65 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 there are very good and active group on groups.yahoo.com that I would also check into. I have a MAP330 and that group helped me a great deal get going with it. Quote Link to comment

You should be able to press and hold the 'goto' button. That should bring up a screen that will aloow you to enter in GPS coordinates and allow you to save it with a name and icon so you can find it on your map. Quote Link to comment

I had the threads listed in outline mode. I didn't see that you already had your answer. I just bought one of these and have a question about this - I can do above, and I can enter coordinates...but can I download coordiantes into it? I'm wondering if i use the software that came with it - save the waypoints and then download the region to the handheld....is that what i'm suppose to be doing? I really appreciate any help here Quote Link to comment
