Five Main Pages are your primary access to operating the eTrex Legend. Each page provides either a basic navigation function or access to features which enhance navigation or customize the unit's operation. This manual is arranged on the Main Pages structure with detailed instructions on using the eTrex Legend's features and their options. Features include: Setup and Features * Points of Interest, Address, and Intersection data must be transferred to the unit using a GARMIN MapSource CD-ROM. See page 56 for more information. ** About WAAS Because the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is currently under development and is not fully supported by geo-stationary satellites, effective use of the WAAS feature may be limited by your geographic location in relation to those satellites now in service. There are two WAAS satellites in service in geo-stationary orbit above the Equator, one over the Atlantic Ocean and one over the Pacific Ocean. Currently, WAAS satellite signal reception requires an absolute clear view of the sky and works best when there are no nearby obstructions such as buildings, mountains, etc. In fact, you may not be able to receive or easily maintain a WAAS satellite signal until full satellite support for this program is complete. Not enabling WAAS when you cannot receive a signal speeds unit map drawing and conserves battery power. See pages 5 and 47 for enabling WAAS and satellite reception techniques. Storage for 500 Waypoints with name and graphic symbol. An automatic Track Log with storage capability for 2,048 points, or 10 saved Tracks with 250 points each. Route building capability, with storage for 20 Routes with 50 Waypoints each. A Trip Computer for displaying a variety of navigation data such as speed, ETA, ETE, heading, odometer, etc. A Find Feature for locating Waypoints, Cities, Interstate Exits, Points of Interest, Street Addresses and Intersections.* 8 MB of detailed map data storage, allowing transfer from GARMIN MapSource CD-ROM's.

Main Page Menu Button Main Page Menu Use to go directly to a Main Page and as an alternate to cycling through the Main Pages. Double click the on-screen button to toggle between two Main Pages. 4 Satellite The Main Page On-Screen Page and Option Menu Buttons Status Window Inner Ring (Satellites within 45° angle from vertical) Outer Ring (Satellites on the horizon) Center (Satellite overhead) Signal Strength bars Satellite Page with 10 Satellites Being Tracked and WAAS Enabled. WAAS Satellite is No. 35 and `D' in Signal Bars for GPS Satellites Your location coordinates and Elevation The Satellite Page provides a picture of satellite signal tracking, tells you when the unit is ready for navigation, and shows your location coordinates. The Skyview graphic represents a view looking up at the sky from your current location showing satellites and their assigned numbers. The outer ring represents the horizon around you, the inner ring represents a view above you at a 45° angle from vertical, and the center represents directly overhead. Signal Strength Bars for each satellite are shown just below the Skyview. Satellites and their signals appear as hollow shapes until a signal is received and then they appear darkened in. The stronger the signal, the taller the signal bar. The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) capability produces a more accurate position fix. When enabled (the GPS mode set to `Normal' and the interface set to other than RTCM mode), this feature searches for a WAAS satellite near your location and then receives data for correcting differentials in the GPS satellite signals and the WAAS satellite numbers (Number 33 or above) display on the Satellite Page. When differential correction data has been received for GPS satellites (number 32 or below), a `D' displays in the signal bar beneath the skyview. It is helpful to orient the unit antenna toward the WAAS satellite shown in the skyview. To learn more about the WAAS System, access the 5 Federal Aviation Administration web site (http.//gps.faa.gov/). Satellite Options The Satellite Page options include: Use With GPS Off - Use this option when you are indoors, a clear view of the sky is obstructed, or you want to save battery power. You can enter data, create routes, etc., but cannot navigate in this mode. Satellite Page Options Menu Highlight the on-screen button at the top of the page & press in on the THUMB STICK. Track Up/North Up - You can orient the satellite skyview by selecting `Track Up' (your direction of travel) or `North Up' (the satellite skyview oriented to the north). New Elevation - You can manually enter a new, more accurate elevation, if known, to increase position accuracy. New Location - If you are more than 600 miles from where you last used the unit, select the `New Location' and then the `Use Map' options to approximate your location. This gives the unit reference information and speeds satellite acquisition. To select the `Use With GPS Off' option: 1. Use the THUMB STICK to highlight the Option Menu button at the top of the page and then press it in to display the Options Menu. 2. Use the THUMB STICK to highlight the `Use With GPS Off' option and then press it in to activate. The eTrex Legend stops tracking satellites and should not be used for navigation. However, the next time you turn the unit on, it returns to Normal GPS operation. The Satellite Page Options Menu "GPS Off" Message To select `Track Up' or `North Up': 1. Use the THUMB STICK to highlight the Option Menu button at the top of the page and then press it in to display the Options Menu. `North Up' Skyview Orientation 2.

Enter the desired elevation by using the THUMB STICK to highlight the desired numerals and pressing it in. Highlight `OK' and press in to complete entry. Options `Use Map' option helps to speed acquisition. To enter a new location: 1. Use the THUMB STICK to highlight the Option Menu button at the top of the page and then press it in to display the Options Menu. 2. Highlight `New Location' and press in on the THUMB STICK to display choices of `Auto' or `Use Map'. If you choose `Auto' the eTrex Legend determines your new location automatically. If you choose `Use Map' a map page displays with instructions stating, "Point to your approximate location and press ENTER". Use the THUMB STICK to move the map pointer to your location on the map and press it in. The eTrex Legend relies on satellite signals to provide navigational guidance, so getting a clear view of the sky is necessary because GPS signals do not travel through rocks, buildings, people, metal, or heavy tree cover. At least three satellite signals are needed to determine your location, otherwise the unit displays a "Poor Satellite Reception" message. This message provides four options and a brief explanation to guide your choice: Use with GPS Off - Select this option if you want GPS off (for faster map drawing). New Location - Select this option if you have moved hundreds of miles (from where you last used the unit). Restart Search - Select this option if today is not (date provided). Continue Acquiring - Select this option if no other option applies. (The unit will attempt to gather GPS signals.) There are four options for the "Poor Satellite Reception" message. 7 Navigating Navigating with eTrex Legend Active Navigation is supported by three of the five Main Pages: the Map Page, Navigation Page and Trip Computer Page. The Map Page graphically shows you map details, your current location, marks your route to a destination with a route line, and leaves a trail (track log) of where you've been. A Goto The Navigation Page tells you what direction to go and the direction you are traveling. The Trip Computer Page records and displays travel data, such as the distance you have traveled, your speed, the time spent moving or stopped, and other options can be chosen to display the elevation, the time of day or the time remaining before reaching a destination. A Track There are three methods of navigating when using the eTrex Legend and each is graphically displayed on the Map Page. Goto - A direct path to a selected destination (waypoint, city, address, etc.). A Route Track - A previous path of travel that has been stored (logged) in the eTrex Legend. A Track allows you to repeat a path or to return to your starting point on the same path using the GARMIN TracBack feature. Route - A path to a destination consisting of intermediate stops along the way (waypoints, cities, highway exits, points of interest, intersections, etc.). Travel that does not involve navigating on a Goto, Track or Route is best explained as travel without entering a destination in the eTrex Legend. The Map Page displays your real-time movement as you travel with the unit turned on and receiving satellite signals. When not navigating on a Goto, following a Track, or Route, your travel is indicated by the `Pointer Icon' and a dotted line indicating your path. 8 Map The Main Page On-Screen Page and Option Menu Buttons Status Window Position Icon Map Scale Map Features The Map Page displays your present position and direction of movement using a triangular `Position Icon' that is centered on the map. As you travel, the map display leaves a track log ("trail") of your movements. The map also displays geographic details such as rivers, lakes, highways, and towns. The map shown above displays a higher level of detail than the basemap provided with the unit (i.e. residential streets, parks, etc.), because GARMIN MapSource data has been downloaded to the unit from the mapping program on the optional CD-ROM. To allow you to view the map from different perspectives, the scale can be changed from 20 feet to 500 miles. The ZOOM IN and OUT buttons on the side of the unit allow you to zoom in or out on the map. Pressing and holding these buttons causes the scale to change rapidly instead of changing in increments. The IN button displays less area but more map detail, while the OUT button shows you a larger area with less map detail. A Status Window at the top of the page provides you with current satellite tracking and position accuracy information. 9 Map The Main Page The Map Page The Map Page shows your present position and direction of movement as a triangular `Position Icon', in the center of the map. The map display also shows the map scale and geographic details such as lakes, rivers, highways, and towns. Use the ZOOM IN and OUT buttons to change the map scale in order to show more map area with less detail or less map area with more detail. Press and hold to ZOOM the map scale rapidly. The map scale in the lower left hand side of the display is shown in units of measurement selected in the `Units' field of the Unit Setup Page (not to be confused with the Map Setup Page). If you zoom in so far that the resolution of the map data is exceeded and the appearance of the map is no longer accurate, the word, "overzoom" displays just below the map scale. In many instances the map displays an `Accuracy Circle' surrounding the `Position Icon'. The eTrex Legend uses both map resolution and GPS accuracy in defining your location to a point within the circle. The smaller the circle, the more accurate your location. When using the `Pan Map' feature, a small outline arrow (Map Pointer) can be moved about the page to highlight and identify map items or to scroll the map to view areas not shown on the display screen. A Status Field at the top of the page provides satellite tracking and location accuracy information. Two optional Data fields at the bottom of the page can be programmed to provide a variety of travel and navigation information. More detailed map features as well as information about those features can be downloaded to the unit from an optional GARMIN MapSource CD-ROM. When using MapSource data, the word `mapsource' displays below the map scale whenever you zoom in to view map details.
