If you're an eTrex SE user, you might need to create a waypoint with coordinates to mark a specific location for future reference. Luckily, the process is simple and straightforward. In this how-to blog post, we will walk you through the steps to create a waypoint with coordinates on the eTrex SE.
Step 1: Mark a Waypoint at Your Current Location
The first step to creating a waypoint with coordinates on your eTrex SE is to mark a waypoint at your current location. To do this, press and hold the OK/Upside Down Teardrop button. This will mark a waypoint at your current location.
Step 2: Open the Options Menu and Select Edit
After marking the waypoint, press OK to open the options menu, and select Edit.
Step 3: Select the Coordinates Field
Next, select the Coordinates field on the eTrex SE. The Coordinates field is where you can edit the coordinates for the new waypoint you're creating.
Step 4: Change the Coordinates
Using the Up button or Down button, you can change a letter or digit in the coordinates. Once you've changed a letter or digit, press OK to confirm and proceed to the next letter or digit. Repeat this process until you've entered the correct coordinates.
Step 5: Select Done when Finished Editing
After entering the correct coordinates, select Done when finished editing. This will save the changes you've made to the coordinates.
Step 6: Make Any Other Necessary Changes to Waypoint Data Fields
Before saving the waypoint, make any other necessary changes to waypoint data fields, such as the name or icon. Scroll down and select Done to save.
Step 7: Find the Waypoint in Saved
The waypoint is now updated with the new coordinates you've entered. When saved, you can find the waypoint in Saved.
In conclusion, the eTrex SE is a versatile and capable device, and creating a waypoint with coordinates is a simple task. With these step-by-step instructions, you'll be able to mark a waypoint with coordinates in no time. Whether you're using the device for outdoor activities or navigation, this feature will surely come in handy.

Nice. The battery life on these things is amazing! When I first got mine, it had a habit of restarting after I powered it down (something I think they've fixed since). But after playing around with it one night, I found it was still running the next day (almost 12 hours later). The battery level was basically unchanged! That was amazing. My Oregon handheld would have been dead by then I'm sure 😏

Thank you! Don't feel like such a ding dong. Learning to use my gps to track nesting raptors. 😉

Does the unit have a toggle button so you can move the map up and down and sideways?

I have Garmin eTrex SE and solar. Which is better? Maps What about maps? What is the MDS system? / The writing may be bad because a translator is used. / 1. MicroSD expansion slot, 2. MDS&MGRS, 3. Inquiry regarding map use(image map, google Maps, data), 4. How do I use the map? (Is it not available?)

Hi can you walk with the satellite page open as well or only the compass page?

Yes, you can be on any screen

I don’t see a Notes field on the waypoint screen. I use that extensively on my GPSMAP units. Is it buried or just non-existent on the eTrex SE and Solar?

Yeah, it’s sneaky, when you create a waypoint, lets say by press & hold the OK button, you gotta hit OK again to get into edit mode, then you scroll down and you see the Notes field.
