We carry Garmin eTrex 22x GPS in each of our over-the-hill bags. They are to be used in locating patients with known coordinates and providing coordinates to other rescuers when patients are found.

Basic Operations

Power on and off

  • Press and hold the power button for 1-2 sec.

Go to map mode

  • Select ‘Map’ from the main menu. Map will snap to your position once satellites have been found.
  • Use arrows (top-left) to zoom in and out.
  • Use thumb stick to move around the map.

Get current coordinates

  • From the map screen press and hold the thumb stick. This will start the ‘create way point’ function and display current coordinates.
  • If you are exploring the map (arrow is displayed) press back button first otherwise coordinates will be for arrow and not for you.

Go to coordinate

  • From the map, press the ‘Back’ button to get to main menu if necessary.
  • Select ‘Where to?’.
  • Select ‘Coordinates’.
  • Enter coordinates using left/right arrow to move between digits.

View current route on map

  • The GPS will automatically record your track as soon as it connects to the satellites.
  • From the map, press the ‘Back’ button to get to main menu if necessary.
  • Select ‘Track Manager’.
  • Select ‘Current Track’.
  • Select ‘View Map’.
