Garmin eTrex Summit Owner's Manual - Page 7

Introduction The eTrex Summit is a six ounce, 12 channel, hand held GPS receiver. It has a built-in GPS antenna and only five user-Buttons. All Buttons are located on either side of the unit, allowing for simple, one-handed operation that won't obstruct your view of the display. It runs for up to 22 hours on two AA batteries in battery save mode. The eTrex Summit contains a full function GPS, electronic compass and barometric altimeter. The eTrex Summit will track barometric pressure and altitude changes, providing data never before available in such a small package. Using the built in compass, the eTrex Summit will provide you with a reliable heading even while standing still. When moving, the eTrex Summit will provide you with more data, including speed, direction of movement, time, distance to destination, and more. From these basic features, your eTrex Summit can provide one more critical benefit; peace of mind, because, with the combination of these technologies you'll know where you are, where you've been and where you're going. And since you'll always know the way back home, you can concentrate on what you set out to do and enjoy the great outdoors. Other features include: Waypoints: 500 with name and graphic symbol. Tracks: Automatic track log; 10 saved tracks. Routes: 20 Routes that let you navigate through a set of 50 waypoints. Trip Computer: Current speed, average speed, maximum speed, bearing, elevation, location, time of sunrise/ sunset, trip timer and trip odometer. Elevation Computer: Total ascent, total descent, average ascent, average descent, maximum ascent, maximum descent, vertical speed, pressure, 12 hour pressure trend, maximum elevation, and minimum elevation. Features NOTE: You should always be prepared and capable of navigating without the eTrex Summit. It is designed to augment other forms of basic navigation, not entirely replace them. 5
