GPSr Shortcuts/Secrets


Recommended Posts

After reading and searching the forums, I have found several shortcuts and secrets for my Garmin V. I thought this would be a good place to list them all together. If anyone knows of any more tricks, feel free to list them here. Any brands' tricks are welcome.

 

  • Master Reset...Hold Quit and Out while powering the unit On. I have also heard pressing Menu while powering On would do the same, although I haven't tried it.

  • Self-Test...Hold Enter and power the unit On.

  • Change Screen Orientation...Hold Page for 2 seconds.

  • Auto Routing to Home...Press Find twice.

  • OKsubstitution...On a data entry screen, you can press Page, and it will work instead of scrolling over to OK.

 

Any others?

eTrex Vista shortcuts (should work on some other models as well):

Press and hold the click-stick to set a waypoint.

Press and hold the Page button to toggle on/off the electronic compass.

Press and hold the Find button to display the next waypoint on an active route, or the target waypoint when using GoTo.
