Getting Started Page Basics Selecting a Page All of the information needed to operate the eTrex is found on four main "pages" (or display screens). These pages are the Satellite, Map, Pointer, and Menu. Simply press the PAGE Button to switch between pages. The "READY TO NAVIGATE" message must appear before you can begin using your eTrex to navigate. Pressing ENTER on the Advanced Skyview Page also offers the options of Orienting the Sky Ahead or Northward, Setup Display (backlighting/ contrast), and returning to Normal Skyview. 10 PAGE PAGE PAGE PAGE Satellite Map Navigation Menu Satellite Page Basics The Satellite Page shows the eTrex gathering all the necessary satellite information in order to work. There are two display options on the Satellite Page, Normal Skyview and Advanced Skyview. Normal Skyview shows you (in animation), the satellites, satellite signal strength, and the eTrex's estimated location accuracy. To activate the Advanced Skyview page, simply press ENTER when on the Satellite Page, select 'Advanced Skyview' and press ENTER again. This page displays the numbered satellites the eTrex is using, their proximity to your current position, and their individual signal strengths. To determine the location of the satellites being used around you, the outer circle of the display represents the horizon and the center represents the sky directly overhead.
