Map Page Options

In addition to the basic aspects of the Map Page that
were covered on page 11, there is a 'MAP OPTIONS'
feature which allows you to customize the Map Page. The
following options are available:
• Orient Map Ahead/Northward: When 'AHEAD' is
selected, the top of the map is oriented in the direction
you are currently moving. When 'NORTHWARD' is
selected, the map is always oriented to the north.
• Auto Zoom On/Off: When 'AUTO ZOOM' is turned on,
the map automatically adjusts its scale to display your entire
navigating route. When it' s turned off, you must press the
UP or DOWN Buttons to select the appropriate map scale.
• Show/Hide Waypoints: Allows you to view the map
with or without waypoints.
• Show Course Line/Bearing Line: 'SHOW COURSE
LINE' displays the path from your starting point to your
destination. 'SHOW BEARING LINE' displays the path
from your current location to your destination.
• Stop Navigation: 'STOP NAVIGATION' stops any
active navigation (navigation means there is a destination
waypoint, page 16). This option cannot be selected if
there is no active navigation.
To select a Map Page option:
1. Press the ENTER Button on the 'MAP' Page.
2. The Map Options Menu appears. Press the UP or
DOWN Button and highlight the desired option and
press ENTER. Once you press ENTER, the change
is made and the Options Menu disappears.
You will notice on the Map Page the little grey "man".
The man stands still when you are not moving, he moves
when you move, and a blinking "?" means the eTrex has lost
satellite reception (weak signals). You should relocate the
eTrex or move to a place that has a clear view of the sky.
