Viewing Distant Points of Interest or Addresses on eTrex 10, 20(x), 22x, 30(x), or 32x

When planning an upcoming trip, you may want to ensure certain points of interest, or addresses, are available on your eTrex® 10, 20, 20x, 22x, 30, 30x, or 32x outdoor handheld before heading out.

Depending on what you want to view, there are a couple options listed below for searching another location than where you are currently located.

Search Near Function

The Search Near function allows you to view points of interest, such as cities, tides, or geographical points.

With routable mapping in your eTrex handheld, such as City Navigator® or TOPO 24K, you can also view gas stations, restaurants, hotels, entertainment spots, and other similar places.

1. Select Where To? from the main menu.
2. Press Menu button.
3. Select Search Near.
4. Select one of the Search Near options:
   • If "A Recent Find" is selected:
     1. Select the recent find to search near.
     2. Choose the category of item to search for.
   • If "A Waypoint" is selected:
     1. Select the waypoint to search near.
     2. Choose the category of item to search for.
   • If "My Current Location" is selected:
     1. Select the category of item to search for near your current location.
   • If "A Map Point" is selected:
     1. Move the map cursor so that it is on the point you wish to use.
     2. Select Use.
     3. Choose the category of item to search for.

The eTrex will now provide search results near the selected location.

Searching for an Address

NOTE: Searching for and viewing addresses is not available on the eTrex 10 handheld. While other eTrex handheld models may have an option for Addresses, they will not be able to find addresses unless mapping containing address information, such as TOPO 24K or City Navigator, are loaded to the device.

There is no need to access the Search Near function before searching for an address, but the ability to search for an address on your eTrex handheld requires a routable map, such as City Navigator or TOPO 24K. It is also important that the map covers the area you wish to search in.

Depending on what maps are installed and which country the address is in, you may or may not be prompted to select a country, state, and/or province before entering the rest of the address.

1. Select Where to? from the main menu.

2. Select Addresses.

3. If prompted, select Enter the Country, or select the country underneath that, otherwise skip to the next step.

   • Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the country.

   • As you type, results may appear. Select country from the results or continue typing, then select Done.

4. If prompted, select Enter State/Province, or select the state/province underneath that, otherwise skip to the next step.

   • Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the state or province.

   • As you type, results may appear. Select state/province from the results -or- finish typing, then select Done.

5. Select Enter City/Postal Code, or Search All.

   • Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the city.

   • As you type, results may appear. Select city from the results -or- finish typing, then select Done.

6. Enter the House Number appears on the screen.

   • Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the street number. When finished, select Done.

7. Enter the Street Name appears on the screen.

   • Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the street name.

   • As you type, results may appear. Select desired street from the results or finish typing, then select Done.

     • If there are similar or inexact results, a list of addresses may appear. Select desired address.

The address will appear on the map. You can use the thumbstick to pan the map around and the up/down arrow buttons to zoom in or out.

You can also save the address as a waypoint for later use. To do so:

1. 1. Press Menu.
   2. Select Save as Waypoint.

A confirmation should display that the waypoint was saved. The waypoint can be found under Waypoint Manager, or under Waypoints from Where to?.
