Area Calculator
This feature provides you an area calculation as you
move about a location or view a saved track. The area
calculation displays in acres, hectares, and square feet,
square yards, square meters, square kilometers, and
square miles.
To calculate the area:
1. With the eTrex Venture “Ready to Navigate”, press
‘Start’ when you are ready to begin.
2. Begin walking or traveling the outskirts of the area
you want to measure. As soon as you change direc-
tion, the eTrex Venture begins to display the area
traversed thus far.
3. Continue to the end point, then use the THUMB
STICK to stop the calculation.
4. Use the THUMB STICK to store the area as a saved
track.
To review the area of a saved track:
1. On the Tracks page, highlight a Saved Track and
press in on the THUMB STICK to see a map with
the area shown in a data fi eld at the bottom.
