Six degrees of separation?

Re: How to do degrees on emap??
I have an etrex legend. There is a menu option to "project a waypont".
I don't know how to find that option on your GPSr, but it should be in the book. Mine is on the same page as "delete a waypoint".

Close enough for government work (unless the waypoint is a good distance away, or there are LOTS of trees)Yogi57 wrote:North is 0 degrees and east is 90 degrees so 62.3 is in between
Re: How to do degrees on emap??
see i knew that about N being 0, but i was just thrown off by how they say to do it b/c the way they have you do it, N is behind me and they want it to be the other direction, lol. if that make any sense. i guess i have to keep trying. thanks guys.

What cache is it?fathead45 wrote:I need to use degrees to find a cache but i dont know how to make my emap do degrees. anyone know how to do this??
We always carry a compass in our geo-bag, it makes life much easier. You'll never know when you'll runout of batteries and walking in circles is no fun.

Re: How to do degrees on emap??
Starting from the MAP display, push MENU twice to enter the MAIN MENU. Select SETUP. Scroll right and select the ADVANCED tab at the top. At the bottom of the screen there should be a "Direction Display" option. Scroll to it and push ENTer, and select "NUMERIC DEGREES". Push ESCape
until you back to the map screen.
Resume navigation if not in that mode, or do a FIND to waypoint in question.
OR...
Get a real compass! I always used a real compass for the last part of the hunt with my eMap.
Remember this is not a compass, so readings are only valid when you are moving.

Don't buy a real cheap compass, I have had a coupe that don't always point north.
