The eTrex does not turn on:
1. Check to see if the batteries are installed correctly
and that the battery terminals are clean.
It takes more than 10 minutes to get a
location fi x:
1. There may be large obstacles overhead; move to a
new location with a clear view of the sky.
2. See "Satellite Reception Tips" on page 42.
The arrow on the Navigation Page does not
point to the destination:
1. Navigation information is based on your movement.
If you are standing still, the information is not
updating.
Since the eTrex is not a magnetic compass it cannot
show you which way you are facing while you are
standing still.
The eTrex coordinates do not match the loca-
tion on your map:
1. Check to make sure the eTrex is confi gured to use
the same position format and datum as your map.
See page 34.
NOTE: The Auto Power Adapter converts
12 VDC to 3 VDC output for the eTrex. This
adapter is not interchangeable with auto
power adapters designed for the Garmin VHF
720 and 725, GPS 170, 175, 190 and 195.
