North Reference
‘Reference’ refers to the orientation of a map’s grid.
Map makers try to align the vertical lines on a map with
‘True North’ . True North is the direction from any
location on the earth’s surface to the “north pole”. Maps
are typically referenced to true north. Because a compass
points to magnetic north, not true north, maps indicate
the difference between true and magnetic north with
something called ‘declination’.
The eTrex Summit can be set
to disable the Electronic
Compass above a user
selected speed. This helps to
conserve battery power.
Set a time delay before
switching to the electronic
compass when moving at a
speed slower than the user-
selectable speed.
