Pairing Your Phone

To use the connected features of your eTrex® Touch navigator, you should pair it with the Garmin Explore™ app.

  1. During the initial setup on your navigator, scan the QR code with the camera on your phone to download and install the Garmin Explore app.
    NOTE: If you previously skipped the pairing process, you can select Apps list > Settings > Connectivity > Pair Phone.
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions in the app to complete the pairing and setup process.

After the navigator and phone are paired, they connect automatically when they are turned on and within range.
