Garmin ETrex 20 Bedienungsanleitung

Getting started with an eTrex 20 29/12/2015

When you first switch on your eTrex you’ll get the Main menu screen appearing after a short time.

From here you can move around the screen using the thumbstick (also called the joystick or toggle)

Toggling - moving the thumbstic up or down or left or right - will highlight a different submenu . Initially

the one in the top left-hand corner is highlighted – in this case Ma

Clicking – pressing the thumbstic down gently – will bring up the submenu.

Pressing the menu button will bring up a list of options for the menu visible on the screen.

The zoom in/out buttons are only used to alter the image size when a map is shown

Since it is often easiest to navigate around by first returning to the main menu it is important to now that:

1 of 8

back button

on/off + light button

thumbstick or joystick or toggle

zoom out button

zoom in button

menu button

if at any stage you are in a submenu and wish to return to the Main menu just

press the menu button twice [occasionally you may need to press the back button

first]

The main menu has 25 submenus of which only 6 can be seen on the

screen at any one time.

These submenus “wrap around” so that from Ma to Adventures you

can toogle down 12 times or, more simply, up once

Many of these submenus are not of immediate interest to a hill wal er

and can be removed from the main menu – they can be restored very

quic ly should they become of interest.

Example:

If the main menu is reduced to the 9 submenus above

and arranged as shown then, whenever you return to

the main menu, Ma is highlighted and the three most

commonly used submenus can be selected very quic ly.

toggle u to reach Setu

toggle right to reach Track Manager

toggle down to reach Tri Com uter

Customising the main menu - rearranging and shortening

Press the menu button once to bring up the Change Item Order

option.

option.

toggle up to move Tri Com uter up until it comes just after

Track Manager.

Repeat this process to get the first 9 submenus in order to

Now to remove [ temporarily – they can be restored at any time ]

select Remove

Clic and Geocaches is gone.

Now remove all the other submenus in the same way.

The Setu submenu has itself a further 16 submenus. It is not

possible to customise it.

Of these Tracks and Reset are used before and after every hi e

Others need only be chec ed, changed from the default values where

necessary and then left alone.

Main menu > Setu > System

screen as a blue triangle.

As this is done the distance and bearing from the

triangle to the arrow is shown at the top of the screen.
