Map Page Basics on the eTrex Summit

The Map page shows where you (the animated figure) are located and provides a picture of where you are going. As you travel, the animated figure "walks" and leaves a "breadcrumb trail" known as a Track Log. The map also shows waypoint names and symbols.

To help you better visualize the "real world," the eTrex® outdoor handheld is set to automatically rotate the map as you move, so that waypoints that are ahead of you are always displayed in front of the animated figure. The animated figure stands still when you are not moving and moves when you move. A blinking “?” means the eTrex handheld has lost satellite reception. You should reposition the eTrex handheld or move to a place that has a clear view of the sky. In the upper left corner of the screen, the Map Orientation is displayed.

To make sure you can see your entire trip, you can change the map scale from 200 feet to 800 miles. To increase the map scale, press the UP button. This lets you view a larger area in less detail. To decrease the map scale, press the DOWN button. The shows a smaller area with more detail.

Map Page Options

In addition to the Map page basics, there is a ‘MAP OPTIONS’ feature which allows you to customize the Map page. The following options are available:

• Orient Map Ahead/Northwards: When ‘AHEAD’ is selected, the top of the map is oriented in the direction you are currently moving, and a figure icon indicates your current position. When ‘NORTHWARDS’ is selected, the map is always oriented to the north, and your current position is indicated by a direction arrow.
• Auto Zoom On/Off: When ‘AUTO ZOOM’ is turned on, the map automatically adjusts its scale to display your entire navigating route. When it is turned off, you must press the UP or DOWN buttons to select the desired map scale.
• Hide Waypoints: ‘HIDE WAYPOINTS’ will keep waypoint symbols and names from being displayed on the Map page.
• Show Course/Bearing Line: When navigating, use this option to show a Course Line or Bearing Line to your destination. A Course Line is fixed from your starting location, while a Bearing Line changes based on your current location.
• Stop Navigation: ‘STOP NAVIGATION’ stops any active navigation (navigation means there is a destination waypoint or active route). This option cannot be selected if there is no active navigation.
