The eTrex is not a compass.
The Compass Ring on the
Pointer Page is controlled
by the unit’s GPS receiver.
You must be moving in
order for it to track your
movement.
On the Navigation Page,
the UP and DOWN
Buttons are used to cycle
through different trip
data.
Navigation Page Basics
The Navigation Page helps guide you to a destination.
When you’re moving with no particular destination in
mind, the Navigation Page shows you your moving direc-
tion and speed. When you’re moving towards a specifi c
destination, the Navigation Page shows you the name of the
location, the distance and time to go, and displays a
direction arrow in the compass ring. To navigate, simply
follow the arrow.
By pressing the UP or DOWN Buttons, you can
cycle through other trip computer information such as
average speed, maximum speed, moving direction
(heading), bearing, position coordinates, elevation, time of
sunrise/sunset, trip timer and trip odometer.
