[QUOTE="Tortuga, post: 1290798, member: 88975"] I've been using the Garmin 60 series since they came out and performing the setup and instruction of them at my work for quite a few years. Everyone learns them different ways. If you are accustomed to map and compass, use them and then back up your work with the GPS. If you are used to a certain track of land, walk it and play with the GPS as you are on it. Another great way to learn any GPS is geocaching. Explaining would be a highjack of the thread, but Google can explain it. I would caution one to not lean too much on the map screen on the GPS and work more with the trip computer page and put the data you are most comfortable with and/or need the most. Also make sure you set up the position format (MGRS, UTM, Lat/Long) to one you are accustomed to and ensure map datum matches whatever analog map you use (WGS84 is the most common). [/QUOTE]
