Garmin eTrex 22X 32X - How To Plan A Route

In this video, I'll show you how to plan a route on your Garmin eTrex 22X or 32X. A route is a series of points that you create either a path or circuit. For this video, I'm in a new city and I want to plan a walking route close to the hotel.

I'll create a route and adjust the navigation options so that the route follows the path since the pre-loaded map on the eTrex 22X has turn by turn navigation, as opposed to the off road navigation where you have straight line between each line segment.

1. Got to ROUTE PLANNER
2. CREATE NEW ROUTE
3. Choose how to add waypoints, you have several options; choose points on the map, saved waypoints, geocoded images, etc... Here we will pick several point on the map to make our walking loop.

Once you plan out your route, hit BACK to save the route. From the route planner, you can edit routes, view the route on the map, view elevation plot, edit the name of the route, reverse the route or delete the route.

Next, we need to adjust the routing so that we are following the path as opposed to straight line segment. I'm doing this since I'm in a urban environment, but won't work in you are hiking in a wilderness area with no defined trail on the map.

4. SETUP | ROUTING

From here you have a few options:
Off road (straight line, as the crow flies)
On Road (time, distance) will follow roads, paths based on your map information
Prompted (will ask you the above choices everytime)

Now when you are ready to go outside and walk your route, the GPS will calculate the route after you select the routing option.

Thanks a lot! Got the 32x today, and i cant believe i have not gotten something like this sooner. Those cellphones use so much power they are only suitable for short trips... The 32x has much better battery life than the 35x with touch screen, and together with a compact camera with good battery life, it opens up for using the "high end" (powerfilm) solar panels for charging ones equipment on longer bikepacking trips :P

At 2:00 your menu shows the option “elevation plot”. On my etrex 30x with software 3.0 this option is not shown. I can just plot the elevation of tracks that i have walked but I don’t know how to plot a planned route and can’t find a solution online. Has anybody been able to do this on a 30x or is this a 32x only feature?

[WWEscapeLines]

A great set of Vids. Many thanks. I have just brought a Etrex 32X and want to load up my route - GPX format from my pc. Can you show how to do that please

[Leo-wfqc]

With preloaded maps I can't use it dor driving navigation? I guess i have to add a dedicated map since enabling the ones are already in doesn't work. Are there any free maps for driving navigation? such as open street maps for hiking

[mikaelljungberg]

What Dora p. Ronton mean and what is etrex support?

[skinnie]

Great video! Also, maybe you can clarify me one question. Does the Etrex 32X support cadence only sensors? The etrex 30x only supports speed/cadence combo sensors such as the garmin gsc 10. If you can/have the chance to try could you answer me?
Thanks

My Etrex 22x does not have a Route Planning icon? Neither does it have a MOB icon.

Comprei um 32x e ele não é rápido igual ao seu quando navego no mapa será porquê?

[nickbetts]

Thanks for video. I just bought Garmin etrex22x and am learning how to use it. If I want to hike a trail and it already appears on the topoactive map, and the gps tells me where I am relative to this trail, is there a reason I wouldn’t just navigate with that? Why should I go the extra steps to create a route?

[terryjeisman]

Am I able to input the grid references of my 6 camp sites over a 40 mile hike?

Hello and thank you for the video. I have an eTrex 32X. When using the Where To feature and attempting to navigate for example to a point of interest and after triggering the calculate route (go) I keep receiving the same message over and over again " Detailed Maps do not support automotive or motorcycle driving". The unit actually gets stuck and beeps 10 15 time before allowing to go back to the main menu. Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thank you. If I find a solution I will share here.

Hi Jim, how do you go to the start of your route? By your self or can the device do that for you?

[paulusdinata]

Can i use OSM map on etrex22 for routing ?

[sagarthapa]

Can it do it highway routing too? Like long distance highway routing?

[Tintoycar]

Hi i have the same device. Does it make a sound when you have to change direction?

[filmic]

Very nice. Does this procedure (route finding procedure) work similarly for my older ETrex 20? Thank you!

[ricktaguchi]

As mentioned by another commenter, I don't understand the point of routes. If you have a downloaded map then you just follow the route on the map. I guess the only reason you would use routes is if there are no downloaded maps on your device. Then you would create the route on your computer and then follow the route. Can't see why anyone would buy such a device and not have some downloaded maps.

getting ready to put my new etrex 32x back to ebay There is nothing intuitive or out of the box ready unless you are in USA. S.O.S import a google cycle map into etrex follow the route turn left right whatever I dont give a damn if you call it a route or a track just get started Or give up
