WARNING: The etrex takes several minutes to locate sufficient
satellites to accurately determine its position. The time it takes
depends on how long since you last used it and how far you are
from the last place you last used it.
Therefore you need to turn on the etrex at least 5 minutes before
you want to start using it in earnest. If you don't, any waypoint or
track starting point you create is likely to be not at the location
you are at "now", but at the location where you were when you
last turned the etrex off.
Checking remaining battery life and time
With the unit turned on, press the power button briefly and a
screen will pop up showing the battery voltage, time and satellite
signal strength.
White indicates charged, black indicates discharged.
