Operating a Garmin GPS

[@redrose2716]

Even though the screen was hard to read at times, this was still the best demo I found out there, and I was able to navigate my way through all the screens based on your great verbal instruction. Thanks so much for putting this out there!

[@jeffsun_GIS]

Thank you for the comment! Im glad it was helpful!

Great video sir saved my ass I bought 20 acres and needed to mark waypoint thank u so much

[@Sourpusscandy]

I found one of these new in the box at a thrift store $20, oldie but goodie!

[@kishascape]

Ayy you got da H version of the Blue legend as well. I love it, it's great for surveying and openstreetmaps mapping.

[@films411traiilersnclips7]

Thank you for the guide. Just bought the same unit for $20 on ebay.

The good wish is edit this video to 3minutes and people will benefit. Users use the tool to calculate area, distance, perimeter if they are in land measurements. This video can have sequel to it. Jeff is a good teacher at his job.

Good video! Thx! Just bought an eTrex Legend on eBay, like new, for $15+shp. Came with original box. manual, cables etc.... not a scratch on it. It came with a serial and USB cable, but I don't think the USB can be used on this old eTrex! I'm looking forward to learning and use it! 😎😎

great. how to find the odometer. clear it etc thanks

[@Mr.RyanButterly]

I got the same one. But where can I find the wire goes from the gps to the 💻?

[@jeffsun_GIS]

Did your GPS come with a cord?

[@Mr.RyanButterly]

@@jeffsun_GIS No.

[@Mr.RyanButterly]

In there any place to but the pc to gps?

[@jeffsun_GIS]

@@Mr.RyanButterly if you have the same unit as in my video there is a rubber flap at the top of the unit on the back. If you pull that open there is a place to plug the cord into. You be an get a cord for the gps at Best Buy, wal mart… pretty much anywhere.

[@Mr.RyanButterly]

@@jeffsun_GIS I try that.

Nobre Jeff, tenho um GPS Etrex Legend e o software estava em um PC que quebrou. Como faço para adquiri o software para usar no notebock

[@danielkoval6922]

Dude thanks your s huge help

[@DanaiiGoose]

Hi Jeff, is there any way to download a gpx file from my pc, out of Basecamp, down to my eTrex Legend?

[@jeffsun_GIS]

Good question. I’m sure there is. I’m not very familiar with basecamp. But when you plug your garmin into your pc I would guess you can put a fox file into the folder where the gps stores them. I hope that makes sense

[@rickshears1]

I just got one of these. How do I plug this into my computer? I do not see any USB port. Do I need to update the software on it?

[@jeffsun_GIS]

On the unit in the video there is a rubber flap at the top, on the back where you plug the cord into it.

Press the 'on' button again and a slider for the backlight appears, push the toggle north to increase the backlight.

[@mpmattson]

The calendar/clock on mine is set to April 2003 & I've tried everything including a hard reset to update. Do you know how to?

[@josephballerini3730]

TERRIBLE ,cant read the screen on the GPS

[@jeffsun_GIS]

Then please don’t watch the video and find something else. If you have specific questions I’d be glad to help you. I’m very sorry you can’t see the screen.
