My husband has bought a Garmin gps (eTrex Summit) and is looking for advice. He is not terribly technical but is good with a map and compass. Is there anybody who can give him some advice as to how to use it. Thanks:

I trust you've tried the instruction and the Garmin website?
What is it you need to know?0 -
I am having trouble accessing my tracks when I have downloaded from Memory Map and dont understand how I find out what datum Memory Map uses and if it is compatible to the Garmin I have.

In Memory Map click on Mode, then Position Format this will show you what you are using, for the Uk this should be set to British National Grid. You will also need to set up memory map to wrok with your GPS. Click on GPS and then GPS Setup and enter the relevant details. You will also need to setup the GPS to use BNG.
It may be worth looking at the forums on
