I am trying to figure out how to mark a waypoint and get back to it , for example where I might have parked my car while going hiking.
Everything that I have read or seen says to select the find button, then select the saved waypoint, then select goto.
From the pictures that I have seen or read a compass screen comes up and the pointer, points in the direction that you need to go.
When I try this, I get a map screen, and I can follow it but I think the compass pointer would work much better for me , what am I doing wrong ?
I just spent $25 on an instructional dvd for the etrex vista hcx , but in the section on waypoints , the guy on the dvd selects find, waypoints , goto , he gets a map screen like I do , but in the next second it switchs to a compass pointing in the direction he needs to go.
With no explanation on how it got to the compass.
Please help , I am an old guy and probably a bit slow , but I'm just not grasping this.
