this is the scenario.........
I am out for the day and find a random place I want to stop at and explore, I dont have the correct mapping area for memory-map, I want to use my 168 to record where I walk to so that I can retrace my route back to my car.
What are your recommendations for the easiest, most straight-forward ways of doing this please?
Google have thrown up some suggestions such as Vito Navigator and GPS-Tuner, but these appear to do much more than I am ever going to need so I dont want to clog up my memory with program files that will never get used. Is there a nice, small, simple and intuitive, user-friendly program out there?
Cheers

I use GPSDash2 but Beeline GPS will also do what you want I believe.

Did it with my 168 at Lille yesterday. I made the point I parked my car as a favourite, then switched off. Did the rounds and to find my way back to the car I just navigated to 'favourite'.

I then realised the default was set as 'driving route' Embarassed Reset as walking route and found the car easily.

If we had tried retracing our route we would still be there. :P
