Can you store originating way points and if battery runs out once replacing them can you go back to retrieve them for your next day return to origin

Yes you can store originating way points as long as you want, I have switched many batteries in it and the way points are still there as long as you need them.

Unit is junk. Will not get you back to starting point. I tried it and returned it. Compass did not point to start point. Don't know about storing data.

ya i think so. i just pulled the batt out of mine for 2 min . put them back in and i still have my way points.

Yes, your marked way points will stay until you change them. I found that if my battery dies that my unit will start with a new track in a different color. Unit is not junk as mentioned, but no maps in it like a Garmin. I use my Bushnell some & my Garmin Oregon when I need maps. But then my Bushnell cost $100 & my Garmin close to $300.

As others have indicated, there is a hole on the back where you can tie a string.However, based on my experience, if it can go forward, it should have no problems coming back to you. The controller will let you know when the battery is low, so you can retrieve it before it dies.Also, when you have it return to you, keep the auger turned on (spinning), so it doesn't get hung up on its way back.

although i'm still acquainting myself with my etrex 10 and the manual is somewhat lacking, i'm pretty sure you can pick your waypointw and also delete all stored waypoints at one time. you might want to contact garmin customer service about these questions. i've done that a few times and the representatives have been quite helpful.

You can track all distances traveled. Reset to zero is simple. You can track waypoint to waypoint. Current place to any waypoint you have established. This unit can do everything a beginner could want.

Happened to me once. Had to reset battery. I googled it and they give directions.

Take of the battery, that will reset everything and give you the option to select miles / km

No. I tried the same thing. But there is circuitry to prevent overcharging which would damage your batteries that is missing in the circuit.

Upon turning on the unit it will begin a bread crumb trail of where you go. If you want to return home it will show you on a map where you have been. If you set a way point at any time you can find your way back to that point. Just remember that if your electronics fail and you have no idea where you are you will be cooked!

Check with Goal Zero on their website. They were really helpful when I had questions. I had 2 battery sucking Garmin GPS/Radios on a month long trek last summer. I love these units and recommend them highly! Cheers

Ok I am finding the best way for me to manage multiple stops is just to punch them in as Add as Via Point, then go to Custom Routes, Current Route, Save, then Manual Reorder. When you are Done the GPS shows you a map with your Start, Stops and End flags along the pink route line. Manually Reorder again if needed. If you know that you can't park on the side of the street Garmin wants you to just over/under shoot your turn, it will reroute you to go around the block and still reach your point. I updated the unit with the latest maps yesterday and it still has a problem with oneway streets.

I haven't had it long enough to replace the batteries. Generally, most electronic equipment holds information such as date / time for short periods when bateries are removed. If not, is easily reset through the menu sequence. Sorry unsble to be of more help. Tony

I've used my GPS quite a bit and the battery is still going strong. I turn it on just before I head into the woods to mark my starting point and then turn it off. When I'm ready to head back to my truck or camo I turn it back on and follow the arrow home.. so it's not like the unit is on the entire time I'm in the woods. Hope this helps you out.

Yes and no. Yes, just put batteries in it and you can track your path on the trail, right out of the box. If you are expecting trails to be already marked on the built-in map, no. For that, you'll need to download or purchase additional maps.

yes, if you have saved position and set it , it will return back to that position if power cycled

No it does not lose waypoints. The waypoints can only be deleted by going thru a menu screen. However it seems that you cannot delete one way but have to delete all of them. If the waypoints are geocaching sites and listed under the geocaching menu (different screen than waypoints) they cannot be deleted from the GPS except by downloading a free Garmin site called Garmin base Camp and transferring they waypoints to that site then deleting.

The unit only points to your destination. You have to enter way points along your route then return along your route via the way points you have entered in reverse order.
