To change these settings, first collect the datum information from your map. In the UK, we use Ordnance Survey GB (OS GB). During my travels abroad I use UTM UPS. Before the switch I always used disposable batteries and in 2018 I changed the batteries twice. That’s not bad considering I used the GPS when I crossed Greenland and after hiking nearly every weekend of the year. We look at both the navigational experience you get from the Garmin inReach mini 2 and also how to send both pre-set messages and text messages from the Garmin inReach mini 2. In this video we go for a walk and talk with a Gamin Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar GPS watch and look at how to use a Garmin Fenix 7.

enter coordinates using the eTrex 10 keypad. I recommend you do this only once so that understand the pain explorers experienced in ‘ye olden days’! In this latest walk and talk I take the Garmin Instinct 2 Solar for a 10 mile walk in Northumberland, taking in the Simonside Hills. Pretty much every GPS device allows you to enter a route which can then be followed stage by stage. Most devices also feature an alarm that can be set to notify you when you’re within a certain distance or proximity of the way point. Garmin have had this feature on the GPS is from many years. Proximity alarms are useful when you risk tumbling into a vast chasm from which there’s no return!Another thought is that it depends what you want out of a GPS. If you want to leave the map in the bag and just ride, then it will do that. It depends on how big the route and how much extra navigation you need to do if you modify your route. The sun was shining and the video hopefully brings a bit of insight into how to use a Garmin Oregon 700, Oregon 750 and Oregon 750t GPS unit on the hill. Sadly it was a wet and windy day, but what better conditions to put this top end buttoned GPS unit through it's paces.

On this walk and talk I take the Garmin GPSMAP 65s along a section of St Oswald's Way from Warkworth, on the Northumberland coast to Rothbury. I first import a .gpx file and then edit it into a day section before transferring it onto the Garmin GPSMAP 66s. Added support for advanced geocache logging with OpenCaching.com. See TrailTech (http://garmin.blogs.com/softwareupdates/2011/08/advanced-geocache-logging-with-opencachingcom.html) for more information.Considering the eTrex 10 is a second-generation service, the GPS is incredibly accurate. In a side by side comparison with an InReach Explorer + and a Garmin 64 GPS, the accuracy has proved to be nearly as close to the makr as some of the most modern and powerful devices on the market. The three main areas of the navigation system of the ETrex that I use are: bearings, white points and routes. I’m going to cover each of these in detail shortly but for now I just like to skim across some of the other functions that you can use on this GPS device. The Sunrise/Sunset Feature Power on the eTrex 10 by pressing the top right hand side of the chassis ()as you look at it). A boot screen will appear. The home menu will appear a few seconds later.
