Hi all,

Went backpacking last weekend and used my GPS with preprogrammed route and waypoints to monitor progress along the trail.

I currently have an old Garmin eTrex Legend.

What I'm wondering/trying to do is the following:
Set multiple waypoints along trail to establish a rough route that can be loaded into the GPS unit (got this part). Then, I'd like to pick the waypoint that is the camp site and have the GPS navigate me along my route to the way point.

What's happening now is if I pick the campsite, it bee-lines me to that waypoint. So a 5 mile hike along the trail would show as a 3 mile bee-line.

If I just select the route, I get ETAs to all the in between waypoints.

I'd like to be able to say: use route A and navigate me to waypoint 10.

Is this possible with this GPS unit? Is this possible with any GPS unit?

Not opposed to buying a different GPS unit if it will perform this function. Ideally, there is a trick or technique I'm missing that will let me do this.

If this isn't clear, please let me know. Seems like this should be a simple thing, but I haven't cracked how to do it yet.

Thanks,
chris.
