the “Poor Satellite Reception”
message.
3. Enter the desired elevation by using the
CLICK STICK to highlight the desired numerals
and pressing it in. Highlight ‘OK’ and press in to
complete entry.
To enter a new location:
1. Use the CLICK STICK to highlight the Option Menu
button at the top of the page and then press it in to
display the Options Menu.
2. Highlight ‘New Location’ and press in on the
CLICK STICK to display choices of ‘Auto’ or ‘Use
Map’.
If you choose ‘Auto’ the eTrex Legend determines
your new location automatically.
If you choose ‘Use Map’ a map page displays with
instructions stating, “Point to your approximate
location and press ENTER”. Use the CLICK STICK
to move the map pointer to your location on the
map and press it in.
The eTrex Legend relies on satellite signals to provide
navigational guidance, so getting a clear view of the sky
is necessary because GPS signals do not travel through
rocks, buildings, people, metal, or heavy tree cover. At
least three satellite signals are needed to determine your
location, otherwise the unit displays a “Poor Satellite
Reception” message. This message provides four options
and a brief explanation to guide your choice:
Use with GPS Off - Select this option if you want
GPS off (for faster map drawing).
New Location - Select this option if you have moved
hundreds of miles (from where you last used the
unit).
Restart Search - Select this option if today is not
(date provided).
Continue Acquiring - Select this option if no other
option applies. (The unit will attempt to gather GPS
signals.)
Satellite
‘Use Map’ option helps to speed
acquisition.
