Map Scale
The Map Page shows where you are (the animated
figure) and provides a real picture of where you are going.
As you travel (the animated figure "walks") and leaves a
"trail" (track log). Waypoint names and symbols are also
shown on the map. We will show you how to record your
location by marking a waypoint in the "discovering the
fun" section.
To help you better visualize the "real world", eTrex
automatically rotates the map as you move, so that
waypoints that are ahead of you are always displayed in
front of the animated figure. The North Pointer always
shows you where north is.
To make sure you can see your entire trip, you can
change the map scale (from 500 feet to 800 miles!) by
pressing and holding the UP Button to view a larger area,
and the DOWN Button for viewing a smaller area.
