I think by favorites you are referring to what Garmin calls waypoints, which are locations you save that you can navigate to. If you are at the location you want to save, click on "Mark Waypoint". You will get a screen where you can give it a name and icon and enter other information. If you are not at the location you want to save but know the Lat/Long, click on "Mark Waypoint" and then change the Lat/Long in the "Location" box. If you want to go to a location on the map, long press on the map. Then click on the box that opens at the top that shows the address or location. You can then either navigate to that location by clicking "Go" or create a waypoint by clicking on the flag. You will have to go into the "Waypoint Manager" to rename it. The "Waypoint Manager" is where you go to edit or delete waypoints. To navigate to a waypoint, select "Where To", "Waypoints". Quote Link to comment
xnokiax Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 thanks for quick response New Jersey TJ. i did not have any waypoints there that was reason i did not see it into menu. now i can see it after creating one. i just remember ask other question: how can i turn on record of track only when navigate? do i have it turn it manually all the time or turn on automatic- but its recording all the time gps movement. thanks Quote Link to comment
+splashy Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Settings > Track auto most often or more often for a nice clean track, but normal is fine also if it's not really important. auto pause OFF Auto start on Quote Link to comment
xnokiax Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 thanks splashy. i will try it. but i want just record while gps is navigate. no other walking or carry gps turned on i was charging gps during nigh but i noticed there was white screen. when i turned it off there was second time after some time. is it normal or something wrong?

+Mineral2 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I recall reading that the new oregons have a dashboard that lets you stop and start recording a track right from the map screen. However, general practice is to leave the track recording on. You always have the option of clearing the track before a trip, and saving the track at any point (say, the end of your trip). Then you can retrieve the track for your trip when you get home, but not have to worry about deleting points before and after. Quote Link to comment
