Introduction
Warnings
and
Precautions
CAUTION: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is
operated by the government of the United States, which is
solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The
system is subject to changes which could affect the accu-
racy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although
the eTrex Vista is a precision electronic NAVigation AID
(NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinter-
preted and, therefore, become unsafe.
MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of
GARMIN is to provide customers with the most complete
and accurate cartography that is available to us at a
reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental
and private data sources, which we identify as required
in product literature and copyright messages displayed to
the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccu-
rate or incomplete data to some degree. This is particu-
larly true outside the United States, where complete and
accurate digital data is either not available or prohibitively
expensive.
