Step 1
Initialize your Magellan SporTrak before using it for the first time. Use the 'Up' and 'Down' arrow keys to select your appropriate language, country or region, and then press 'Enter.' Take your GPS receiver outside where it has an unobstructed view of the sky and wait for it to acquire the necessary satellites. After the device has acquired the satellites for the first time it will automatically acquire satellites at start up.

Mark a waypoint with your Magellan SporTrak. A waypoint is a location that you want to save in your GPS device so that you can return to it at a later time. To save a location as a waypoint, press the 'Thumb Tack' button twice. Your waypoint will be saved using a receiver-created name. If you would rather save a waypoint using a custom name, press the 'Thumb Tack' and 'Enter' buttons, then use the arrow pad to operate the on-screen keypad and enter your custom name. Press the 'Enter' button again, followed by the 'Thumb Tack' button. This will save your custom-named waypoint to your Magellan SporTrak.
Step 3
Use your Magellan SporTrak to create a 'Go To' route to navigate to any waypoint in your GPS receiver's memory. Press the 'Go To' button and use the 'Up' and 'Down' arrow keys to highlight the appropriate waypoint category. Press the 'Enter' button to select the waypoint category, then use the 'Up' and 'Down' arrow keys to scroll through the list of waypoints until the desired waypoint is highlighted. Press 'Enter' to select. The Magellan SporTrak will automatically calculate a route to your selected waypoint.
Step 4
Create a multileg route using your Magellen SporTrak. Press the 'Menu' button, choose the 'Routes' option and press 'Enter.' Use the 'Up' and 'Down' arrows to select 'Empty Route,' then press 'Enter.' Highlight the first dotted line on the GPS receiver screen to place the first point in your route, then press 'Enter.' Use the 'Up' and 'Down' arrow keys to highlight the appropriate waypoint category and press 'Enter' to select. Scroll through the presented list of waypoints until the desired waypoint is highlighted, then press the 'Enter' button to select. Press 'Enter' again to confirm the first leg of your route, then repeat the process to add additional legs to your route. When you are finished, press the 'Menu' button and select 'Save Route.'
Insert an additional waypoint into your route. While navigating the route, highlight the next available dotted line on the route screen. Use the 'Up' and 'Down' arrow buttons to select the 'waypoint'option. Press the 'Menu' button, choose the 'Insert' option and press 'Enter.' Select a waypoint category, press 'Enter' and then scroll through the list of waypoints until your desired waypoint is highlighted. Press 'Enter' to save the inserted waypoint in your route.
Tip
- Use the Magellan SporTrak's 'Backtrack' feature to reverse a route. Press the 'Menu' button, select 'Routes' and press 'Enter.' Press the 'Menu' button again. Choose the 'Backtrack' option, and press 'Enter' to begin navigating the reverse route.
Warning
- Do not operate the Magellan SporTrak while driving. If you need to make changes to your route, pull over to the side of the road to protect yourself and other drivers.

Delete Waypoints Garmin Etrex 10
I was completely new to gps when I had this unit. After reading the manual to teach me how to use it, I felt overpowered. I figured that by reading the manual repeatedly, I would soon get the knack for it..NO! I concluded that a gps is a terribly hard gadget to use. It gathered dust on my shelf after that. After many months, I stumbled upon a GIS site (Geographic Information System) describing what I just went through - that many new gps users give up because they relied entirely on the manual. The site offered many tutorial links that were waaaay more understandable and friendly. That renewed my interest on this gps in particular, and GIS in general.
Features(company claim)- can be loaded with a microSD card (user provided)
- bright color screen
- automatic routing
- water resistant
- functional even in deep woods or just near tall buildings and trees
- electronic compass
- barometric altimeter
- the manual sucks (like most manuals). No wonder books like 'Dummies for..' sell like hot cakes.
- the one map that came with its dedicated software, MapSource was next to useless. It was an un-precise global map with corners instead of curves. While taking a waypoint near a body of water, it would show me deep in the ocean. Apo Island and some inland lakes are not there! A better approach would have been Garmin giving the user a choice of a country map, but meticulously detailed (upon online registry).
- getting a .img map, the native format for MapSource is not easy unless you buy it from them.
- even if you do buy it from them, and you're looking for a map for the Philippines, the closest thing they sell is a road map for Southeast Asia, City Navigator Southeast Asia NT, for US150. It highlights the cities Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong and Macau. It means you'll spend US$150 for a map for cities you don't need and not enough info for the city you do need (Manila).
- if I can't find an .img map, I can use a few other formats but again, it entails using another software to convert it to an .img format.
- having sourced an .img map on the internet, or having converted one, it's still not easy to load it on the gps. I had to install 2 separate softwares to do that - MapSetToolkit and cgsmapper. At this point, I guess you get an idea how difficult it gets to use a non-Garmin map to your Garmin gps.
How To Delete Waypoints Garmin Etrex Vista
Ending Thoughts
As far as getting the gps to extract waypoints and tracks, which to me is the most essential feature of any gps, I have no problem with Garmin.
The beef I have with them is 1) they don't necessarily carry maps for places like the Philippines, but 2) they made it ultra-hard for anyone to use a map not purchased from them. They've already made their money on the sale of the GPS, why not cut their customers some slack?
For one thing, the emerging standard in GIS maps is the shapefile format, .shp. It's readily downloadable from GIS sites, particularly OpenStreetMap (OSM). Nearly all GIS software use that format - ArcView, MapWindow, QGIS, etc. Why can't Garmin support that file format in MapSource as well?
This would encourage buyers from countries they don't have a map for! Think about the revenue from this yet-untapped market! With stiff competition now that cellphones come with gps features (that supports OSM), Garmin should seriously rethink if they should continue this outdated 'proprietary' thinking, or accommodate an 'open source' community-based paradigm for its product mix.

Tips:- if you're new to GPS, use the manual to get familiar with the product features, but don't rely on the manual to learn how to use a GPS. Best to Google GPS tutorials on the internet. Trust me on this!
- before using the gps, synchronize your the time on your watch, cellphone, digicam and gps. You'll be doing a lot of cross referencing on your GIS.
- before using a gps in a new area, leave the unit to get a satellite fix first. This might take time.
- carry spare batteries
- best to reset the gps before using on a new project. Delete waypoints, tracks, trip meter, etc. from the previous trip. Of course, presumable, you have already downloaded the info on your hard disk.
- instead of using a pen and paper to record the waypoint and attributes, use a voice recorder. Much can be done in a shorter time.
- For geo-tagging, take pictures of landmarks and take a waypoint as well. Some programs like DNR Garmin can create image hotlinks (by looking for a date/time match between the waypoint and the image meta tag - so date/time has to be synchronized between digicam and GPS)
- to make your tracks user friendly and portable (like passing it to another group on a climb to the same mountain), save the track in Google Earth as a KML file. You can then attach that KML file to an email. Anyone with Google Earth access (which is almost everyone), can view that track.
- always take a waypoint where you left your car
- with GIS and Photoshop, you can really monkey around
- a lot cheaper to buy this on the internet using either Google Checkout or PayPal to do the search amongst their accredited vendors. You can sort the search results by price, vendor reviews, etc. Have it delivered to a friend in the USA who's visiting the Phil. Offer to pick-up your friend from the airport. Fair deal, right?

(Jun 3, 2010) Maganda nga sana nakakabasa ng shapefiles ang Garmin. Ideal talaga yun. Try mo ito:
http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/mis/gis/tools/arcview/extensions/DNRGarmin/DNRGarmin.html
Software yan that can convert shapefile to gpx. Tapos pag gpx na, mabubuksan na ng MapSource.
TheLoneRider
(Jun 4, 2010) Thanks for the input Bunny. That certainly puts a few things in perspective. However, if we're just talking support for the shapefile format, if a free GIS software like MapWindow can support it, why not MapSource? My 2 cents.

(Jun 3, 2010) Expectation wise lang siguro from Garmin GPS medyo mataas sa tingin ko from your end. Garmin units fall under recreational GPS, may limitations sila when it comes to data and other functions. It comes with the price ng GPS sa totoo lang. Some GPS would cost around $1,200 or higher and they are more 'powerful'. They can handle shapefiles directly for example and many many more. Pero ang mahal naman ng unit.
I agree na yung business strategy ng Garmin to make their customers 'dependent' on the company comes into play. Especially sa base maps. Pero ganyan naman karamihan ng companies. Good news lang, may mga maps na pwede mo download na libre.
I think given the cost of Garmin units kahit may limitations, you get the value of your money especially if it addresses your needs. Keep on tracking!
