Units Page

Using your eTrex with a paper map increases the navigation power of both. If you are
going to use a map in conjunction with the eTrex, you must select the position format (grid),
map datum, map units, and north reference to match the map' s units. This is the purpose
of the Units Page. Regarding position format, the eTrex allows you to choose from more
than eighteen different grids. The eTrex supports the UTM/UPS and latitude/longitude grids
because together they cover the world.
