Using the Foretrex 101 with a paper map increases the navigation power of each. To
use a map in conjunction with the Foretrex 101, you must select the position format, map
datum, map units, and north reference (set in the Set Heading Page) to match the map. The
Foretrex 101 supports both the UTM/UPS and latitude/longitude grids, which define posi-
tion location for the entire globe. For more information about using paper maps with your
Garmin unit, refer to “Using a Garmin GPS with Paper Land Maps”, available for download
at http://www.garmin.com/manuals/UsingaGarmtinGPSwithPaperLandMaps_Manual.pdf.
