Topic 1: Getting started

1. What is Garmin etrex® 10 GPS?

The etrex® 10 is a small handheld GPS developed that has been purchased for the GPS in Schools

program.

2. About this guide

This guide has been designed to give you a basic overview of how to use your Garmin etrex® 10 GPS and

its various functions and how to use it in conjunction with LISTmap for viewing and manipulating observed

data.

The information in Topic 4, 5 and 6 –transferring data to / from the GPS –is also applicable to any modern

Garmin GPS that uses a USB cable connection which supports automatic detection of the GPS by a

computer (a Plug and Play connection). The Garmin Oregon ® 600t is another such unit.

This guide assumes that a user has a basic understanding of how to use the LISTmap. For more

information on how to use the LISTmap, refer to LISTmap HELP and the LISTmap videos .

Important information to remember:

Keep in mind that the GPS requires a clear skyview (clouds don’t matter) to work well. Stay

clear of tall buildings, trees or similar that might block your (and therefore the GPS’s) view of

the sky.

For a GPS to locate itself, it is required to ‘see’ to at least four (4) satellites. You can view how

many satellites the GPS is ‘seeing’ by selecting the SATELLITE menu icon (the last icon on the

main functions menu screen). This will bring up a screen displaying the location of satellites

‘seen’ by the GPS at that time (below shows that the GPS can ‘see’ 12 satellites at that particular

time).

Topic 3: The functions of the etrex® 10

There are multiple functions on the etrex® 10 handheld GPS. This section of the guide will give a brief

overview of some of these functions.

1. Using the map function

The map function displays your GPS location on a global map.

Select the ‘map’ icon on the main functions menu.

The triangle symbol ( ) represents your GPS’s location on a map.

A question mark symbol may appear over the top of the triangle. This indicates that the GPS is

searching for satellites to connect to; this process may take a couple of minutes before the GPS

can locate itself.

To exit the map function, press the BACK key.

2. Using the waypoint functions

A waypoint is a location that can be recorded and stored onto the GPS.

2.1 Marking a waypoint

Whilst on the main functions menu page, select the ‘Mark Waypoint’ icon. A screen will be

displayed (as displayed below in the figure) indicates that location of the GPS in Eastings and

Northings, and an elevation above sea level.

A name and note can also be attached to each waypoint. This can be edited by navigating to

each of the sections using the THUMBSTICK and clicking in with the THUMBSTICK.

Once happy with the information attached to the waypoint, select ‘Go’ to store the waypoint.

2.2 Going to a Waypoint

As a waypoint is stored with coordinates, it can be located and revisited using the GPS.

Whilst on the main function menu, select the ‘Where to?’ icon.

The following screen will ask whether you want to locate a track, recent find, coordinate,

city or waypoint. Select waypoint.

A list of waypoints that have been stored into the GPS will appear. To locate to a

particular waypoint, navigate to and select the waypoint using the THUMBSTICK. A map

will display, indicating the location of the waypoint and the location of the GPS. Press

into the THUMBSTICK again to select ‘Go’.

2.3 Deleting a Waypoint

To help free storage space on the GPS and reduce clutter, waypoints that are unwanted can be deleted.

On the main functions menu, select the ‘Waypoint Manager’ icon. This will display all the

waypoints that have been recorded onto the GPS storage system.

To delete individual waypoint: select the individual waypoint that you want deleted using the

THUMBSTICK, press the MENU KEY to display the various options for that waypoint, then select

the delete option within this menu. Press the BACK KEY to escape these options.

To delete all waypoints: on the page that list all the waypoints, press the MENU KEY, then select

the ‘delete all’ option within this menu.

To exit the ‘Waypoint Manager’ and return to the main functions menu, press the BACK KEY.

3. Viewing the ‘behind the scenes’ data

The etrex® 10 automatically stores behind-the-scenes information while it is turned on and has satellite

reception. This information includes:

Maximum moving speed.

Average moving speed.

Trip distance (odometer).

To view this data, select the ‘Trip Computer’ icon on the main function menu. The figure on the next page

displays an example trip computer data.

To reset this data, press the MENU KEY when viewing the trip computer data, and then select the ‘Reset’

option.

4. Viewing and saving your track

A track is a recording of your path you have travelled since the GPS first came into reception with the

satellites. Within the map function, your track appears as a small dashed line that is drawn behind your

GPS location arrow as you walk (example shown below).

You can save your track into the GPS internal storage so that you can revisit them later, or export them

onto the computer for viewing in a variety of software (how to export a track to the computer, then view

your track on LISTmap is explained further on).

Go to the main function menu, and then scroll down the menu using the THUMBSTICK to select

the ‘Track Manager’ icon.

Select the ‘current track’ option.

Select the ‘save track’ option, then edit your track name (if you wish, you may keep the default

name provided) using the THUMBSTICK on the onscreen keyboard (e.g. MyTrack). Once happy

with your track name, select the ‘Done’ option.

Page 8

Using your Garmin etrex® 10 GPS

The following page will ask you if you would like to clear your current track. This means that up

until this point, you can save your track you have created and either continue on that same track,

or choose to start a new track. For the purpose of this description select ‘yes’.

Your track is now saved. You can now revisit your track using the ‘Where To?’ function (to return to this

main function menu, press the BACK key –when in doubt, press the BACK key ).

Topic 4: Transferring data between a computer and the GPS

The etrex® 10 (or Garmin Oregon ® 600t ) allows for the transfer of waypoint and track data between the

GPS and the computer. This function can be used to transfer downloaded waypoints and tracks onto the

GPS. For example, the location of a geocache can be uploaded onto the GPS as a waypoint. This function

can also be used for transferring the waypoints and track data that you observed out in the field to the

computer for further editing.

The etrex® 10 can be connected to the computer using the USB cable (as displayed below).

A mini-USB port is located under the rubber cover on the back of the GPS. With the GPS turned off, simply

plug the mini-USB cable fitting into this port and then plug USB fitting into a USB port on your computer.

Once the GPS is connected it will turn on automatically and after waiting a few moments for the computer

to detect the GPS you are able to view the files on the GPS as a removable storage drive (similar to the

way you would with a USB memory stick or smartphone).

Page 9

Using your Garmin etrex® 10 GPS

Choose the Open Folder to view files option to browse the information on the GPS.

The file format for the waypoint and track data created by Garmin GPS units is *.GPX (stands for GPS

eXchange file). This format is commonly recognized across a majority of software packages that handle

data captured by a handheld GPS. On a Garmin GPS these files are found in a folder called GPX. Further

information about how to find and use these files is in the following sections.

Topic 5: Transferring data between the GPS and the LISTmap

The LISTmap is an online viewer map that allows you to create your own personalised maps of Tasmania,

using a wide range of authoritative land-based information. LISTmap also offers a function that allows you

to create editable markups on your personal map, import data from your GPS or computer and export

waypoint and route information you have defined in your mark-up directly to your GPS.

Before transferring data to/ from the Garmin GPS ensure it is connected to your computer as described in

Topic 4: Transferring data between a computer and the GPS.

1. Transfering waypoints and tracks from the GPS to the LISTmap

Open LISTmap in your web browser (e.g. Chrome, Mozilla, Explorer) at

https://www.thelist.tas.gov.au/app/content/home, and click on the ‘LISTmap’ icon.

Hover over the Tools arrow in the top left hand corner of the screen then click on Drawing

Tools.

The Drawing Tools window will appear. Click on the Import Spatial Data Icon (indicated below).
