How do I work this Garmin Etrex?
I just inherited this thing and am anxious to begin using it, but on the Map screen the GPS coordinates are turned off, and I can't figure out how to turn them back on. Help please!

If I understand you correctly on the left side of the unit press the bottom button (the one by the click stick) go to data fields, then choose the one you want.

go to the garmin site and download the manual as a .pdf. reading is FUNdamental..
But if I agreed with you, we would both be wrong.

Use with GPS off
Track Up
Single Color
New Location
I'm thinking then that the GPS is on, but it's not showing me any coordinates on the map page--even though in the manual it shows that page with coordinates on the screen.

PM me Jim and I'll come over and fix it for you. I used to own one of those.

have you loaded waypoints to the gps?
If maps have ben uploaded, try looking for waypoints. There is a find key on the left hand side of the unit.Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, as vital to our lives and water and good bread

Yep. It was the waypoints thing. Once I created one, the coordinates appeared on the screen. Actually the manual didn't say that needed to be done--all it said was to just wait for the satellites to be found and the coordinates would appear at the top of the screen. So thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

If you want to see the coords of where you are, there should be a 'Trip Computer' that has many useful info that you can customize.
I have a 60CSx, but the Trip Computer is basically the same.
The fields that I have showing are
Accuracy
Distance to next
Speed
Moving Average
Time of Day
Stopped Time
Elevation
and Odometer
You can change the fields, and it will show you the coords of your location.Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, as vital to our lives and water and good bread
