If you choose ‘Auto’ the eTrex Venture determines

The eTrex Venture 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.)
