If you 'open' a stored Track, you'll see a 'Show on map' tickbox, and usually you'll find this is already enabled. On older Garmins (such as the Etrex Legend and Vista, etc), this is the default setting.
To do this, the Track has to be set to 'Show on map'. It's the exact electronic equivalent to having a paper map and going over it with a highlighter pen. As you move around, the map scrolls with you, and all you do is ensure you stay on the coloured line. But owners of older models may like to view the 'split Track' options shown lower down.Ī very basic method of navigating with GPS is to store a Track on the device, and just have it showing on the map, preferably in a nice bright colour. Basically any model introduced in 2009 or later. This file is set to last five seconds, and will display your message during the boot process.Unlike most of these pages, this one is aimed mostly at users of new-style Garmins (the type with the boxy main menu and the 'Where To?' button). Edit the details to get a personalized startup message. This file has no message and display time is set to zero, resulting in pretty much nothing. Choose your favorite editor and open the file. On your device the file startup.txt can be found in Garmin.

Owner's Manual stored on device - open START_HERE.html with an Internet-Browser Transflective, 65-K color TFT ( 176 x 220 pixels / 65K color)ġ.4" x 1.7" (3.5 x 4.4 cm) 2.2" diag (5.6 cm)ĭirectory structure microSD™ / microSDHC card (FAT16/32) path Calendar entries are saved with unix timestamp - adding a calendar entry in one timezone, the travelling elsewhere, may display that entry in the records for another day. The device automatically adjusts time based on the location. If multiple maps have the same "map name", the most recent one seems to be used, file name does not seem to have any impact on this. Multiple maps are supported and can be individually enabled/disabled as long as the map name (numeric ID, usually mkgmap option -mapname) is unique. If connected with a mini-b USB cable to a power source, can run on that power and does not draw power from batteries. It does not support ' garmin protocol', thus waypoints, traces and other information can not be controlled directly (for example, by using gpsbabel).Ĭonnecting to a computer with a mini-b USB cable allows to use it as a generic GPS receiver (for example, with gpsd).
Traces seemingly can only be recorded to the internal storage. Maps can be placed in the internal storage or on the SD card. It has 1.7GB built-in storage and accepts micro SDHC card up to 8GB. It has colour display, supports loadable maps and runs on 2 AA elements. Garmin eTrex 30 is a handheld GPS device.
