Units Page
Using your eTrex Summit with a paper map increases the navigation power of both. If you
are going to use a map in conjunction with the eTrex Summit, 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 Summit allows you to
choose from more than eighteen different grids. The eTrex Summit supports the UTM/UPS
and latitude/longitude grids because together they cover the world.
You can set the backlight to stay on all the
time, but watch your battery power!
The Units Page allows you match the units
of the eTrex Summit to the units of a unique
paper map you may be using.
