Waypoints on Garmin CSx

I have a Garmin Cx and that is what I do. Hit find and then call it up, and then goto. I never really thought about eliminating the extra step. Next time when I’m out using it, I will have to give it a try.

If you want to goto a waypoint as soon as you set it you can use the man overboard feature. Press and hold the mark button and it will set the waypoint and automatically point in the direction of the waypoint you have just created.

Actually … I’m stupid … for two reasons:

#1 I guess I could have tried looking a manual up online.

#2 Upon looking a manual up online (NOW!), I see it does have a [GoTo] choice, I guess in the heat of the moment I didn’t see it and just closed the waypoint after creating it.

Ironically, the person I was “teaching” knew how to download a GPX file to his GPSr using his cable … but never had to add a waypoint manually in the field (for a Multi or Event cache listed on paper). Especially in the case of a Multi, it makes sense to use/have instant Goto, rather than reselecting it after creating it.

manuals are highly overrated…
