Hi Steve,
Have used a Geko 201 for sometime. Never come across a tutorial apart from the manual. Do you have specific problems that are unclear or not covered in the Geko manual?

| its probably in the manual but i am suffering from information overload, how to you put in a way point from a known northing. For example if I knew the point I wanted to walk to by taking coordinates from a map, how do i enter those coordinates as a waypoint please ? |

On all of the Garmin hand held units I have owned you have to get a waypoint either by using an existing one or press Mark or what ever you need to press on your unit to create one then edit the waypoint using to co ordinates you have taken from the map and then save it...I had to ask the same question when I had my first unit

Steve,
If you want to enter more than the odd location, consider using GPSU - www.gpsu.co.uk - to enter the data and then upload it to the Geko.
