Units Page
Using your eTrex with a paper map increases the naviga-
tion power of both. If you are going to use a map in con-
junction with the eTrex, you must select the position format
(grid), map datum, map units, and north reference and vari-
ance to match the map’s units. ‘Angle’ displays directional
information in degrees or mils. This is the purpose of the
Units Page. Regarding position format, the eTrex allows
you to choose from eighteen different grids. The eTrex
supports the UTM/UPS and latitude/longitude grids because
together they cover the world.
You can set the backlight
to stay on all the time,
but watch your battery
power!
The ‘UNITS’ Page
allows you match the
units of the eTrex to the
units of a unique paper
map you may be using.
