Main Menu Selections The 'MENU' Page allows you to customize the eTrex's features. Mark Waypoint Page The 'MARK WAYPOINT' Page allows you to change the waypoint symbol, name, elevation and location (position coordinates). The information on page 14-15 showed how to change the waypoint symbol and name. You can also change the location (position coordinates). You can change the elevation to the exact point if you have that data available from a reliable source (i.e., altimeter or map data). ) NOTE: Elevation or vertical accuracy will always be somewhat less accurate than location or horizontal accuracy. This is a function of GPS measurement methods which use a mathematical model of the earth to determine elevation. Remember that pressing and holding the ENTER Button gives you the 'MARK WAYPOINT' Page. 21
