Garmin eTrex Owner's Manual - Page 7

Introduction The eTrex is a six ounce, 12 channel, hand held GPS receiver. It has a built-in GPS antenna and five user-buttons. All buttons are located on the sides of the unit, allowing for simple, one-handed operation that won't obstruct your view of the display. It runs for 22 hours on two AA alkaline batteries in battery save mode. In addition to determining your location, the eTrex creates, names and saves a location (as an electronic waypoint) in its memory, allowing you to navigate back to this point any time you want. And once you start moving, your GPS provides other data, like speed, direction of movement, time and distance to destination, and more. From these basic features, your Garmin GPS can provide one more critical benefit; peace of mind, because, with GPS you know where you are, where you've been and where you're going. And since you 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: Tracks: Route: Trip Computer: 500 with name and graphic symbol. Automatic track log; 10 saved tracks let you retrace your path in both directions. Allows you to navigate a course of up to 50 waypoints in sequence. Current speed, average speed, maximum speed, direction of movement, bearing, elevation, time of sunrise/sunset, trip timer and trip odometer. eTrex Features NOTE: You should always be prepared for and capable of navigating without the eTrex. It is designed to augment other forms of basic navigation, not entirely replace them. 5
