Help me find a Christmas Tree!

I live in Wyoming, and I just got a 5X. I'm new to GPS stuff. I'd like to walk into the woods now (no snow) and locate a Christmas tree, then walk right back to it in December and cut it (with my permit, of course). Walk me through how to do that (hold my hand here... complete novice.)

    If you find your tree and press the top left button then select save location you can edit the name to tree and when you want to go back to your tree press top right button and go into navagation and saved locations find the one saved as tree and select it
    that is how I would do it an way
  • I agree with Mickk. The Navigate app will show you an arrow for the direction, and the distance remaining to the tree.

    But in terms of justifications for a 5X, "It will help me find a Christmas tree" is definitely up there. :D

    Wow, I wish my wife would buy statements like that.
    Here is how that would play out at my place:

    Me: Honey, I need to buy this Garmin watch so that I can find a Christmass tree and make the kids happy.
    Wife: Are you crazy?

    (she had no problem with me buying a Garmin to support my workouts, but she would not go for a Christmas tree excuse.)

    Though if you got eaten by a bear while tracking down said Christmas tree and she got the life insurance maybe that would help get buy in. :-)

    Lol. I don't know, I don't have much life insurance...
