QUICK START GUIDE

Using the Map Page

The Map Page shows where you are (the animated ﬁgure)

and provides a picture of where you are going. As you travel, the

animated ﬁgure ‘walks’ and leaves a ‘trail’ or ‘track log’. Waypoint

names and symbols are also shown on the map.

Map Page

To use the Map Page while moving around:

1. Press the PAGE button until the Map Page is displayed.

Press the DOWN button to zoom in for a more detailed view of

the map. Press the UP button to zoom out for a view of a larger

map area.

2. Walk or drive around for a few minutes, make a right or left

turn, then continue for a few more minutes and stop.

Marking a Waypoint

Waypoints are locations or landmarks worth recording and stor-

ing in your GPS. These are locations you may later want to return

to, such as check points on a route or signiﬁcant ground features

like your campsite or a favorite ﬁshing spot.

Waypoints may be deﬁned and stored in the unit manually by

taking coordinates for the waypoint from a map or other refer-

ence. This can be done before ever leaving home. Or more usually,

waypoints may be entered directly by taking a reading with the unit

at the location itself, giving it a name, and then saving the point.

To mark your current location as a waypoint:

1. Press and hold the button for two seconds ENTER/MARK

to display the Mark Waypoint Page. Your current location is

marked as a waypoint and assigned a three-digit number.

2. The ‘OK’ button is highlighted so press the ENTER/MARK

button again to save the Waypoint.

Navigating to a Location

Basic navigation with your Foretrex requires only three steps:

mark move return, , and . Mark your location as a waypoint, move

a distance away, and then return after choosing one of several meth-

ods, such as using a GoTo or following a virtual breadcrumb trail.

To return to a waypoint using the GOTO button:

1. Press the GOTO button to display the GoTo Waypoint Page.

2. Use the UP DOWN and buttons to select the desired tab and

press .ENTER

waypoint.

Using the Navigation Page

the arrow in the center of the compass.

Navigation Page

To use the Navigation Page to get to a destination:

1. With a destination already selected and a navigation started,

press the PAGE button repeatedly until the Navigation Page is

displayed, if it is not already.

2. The Navigation Page displays a Pointer indicating the direction

to go. Because you can’t always travel in a straight line, refer

to the Pointer from time to time. As you move and whenever

possible, turn in the direction the Pointer directs until it points

straight up. At which time, travel forward until you arrive at

your destination.

3. To stop navigating, press the ENTER button while on either

the Map or Navigation page. Use the buttons to UP/DOWN

Using Tracks

The Foretrex 201 automatically draws an electronic breadcrumb

trail or ‘track log’ on the Map Page as you travel. Tracks are marked

BEGIN and END. The Foretrex 201 uses the Track Log to allow you

to navigate using the saved track or using the TracBack feature.

TracBack guides you to where you started by following the track

log that you left behind, allowing you to return along a traveled path

without marking any waypoints. You can retrace your track in both

directions. If you want to keep a record of a certain track log or use

the ‘TracBack’ feature, clear the Track Log before you start traveling.
