Navigation to coordinates / waypoint

Unread post by Sibstr »

I have a question about navigating to coordinates or saved waypoint. I have an eTrex SE and when I get within a few meters of the coordinates, the arrow stops showing direction to coordinates and navigation is finished. But I need to keep walking around the coordinates and looking for geocaches.
How does this function work on the eTrex Touch 2?
On the old Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX the arrow / navigation points to the destination until I stop it.

When you've reached your destination, a message will pop up stating:

You Have Arrived

with the options:

Stop Navigation
Find Another
Continue Navigating

Selecting "Continue Navigating" will keep the original waypoint locked so the compass arrow continues to point at that waypoint and you can keep hunting around that locked waypoint.

Thanks for the answer, that's good. The eTrex SE can't do it. It doesn't give you a choice and stops navigation.
