Getting Started
The Getting Started Section introduces you to the basic operation of the eTrex. The Reference Section shows you how to use all of eTrex’s remaining features.
The First Step
The eTrex operates on information gathered from satellites. To gather this information, take your eTrex outside and fi nd a large, open area that has a clear view of the sky (a nearby park would work fi ne). Press and hold the POWER Button to turn the unit on. You’ll see the Welcome Page for a few seconds while the eTrex performs a self-test, followed by the Satellite Page.
The eTrex needs to receive at least three strong satellite signals to fi nd your location. The Satellite Page shows you graphically eTrex tracking satellites, the strength of the satellite signals, and the satellite tracking status.
NOTE: When you use the eTrex for the fi rst time, it will take up to fi ve minutes to fi nd your
F
location. After the fi rst use, eTrex only needs about 15 to 45 seconds to fi nd your location.
Here We Go. . .
The Welcome Page
When you see the “READY TO NAVIGATE” message on the Satellite Page, eTrex has found your location and you are ready to go!
Backlighting and Contrast
If the lighting conditions make it hard for you to see the screen, you can adjust the contrast or turn on the backlight. Press and release the POWER Button from any screen to turn on the backlight. The backlight is timed to stay on for 30 seconds to save battery power. To adjust the screen contrast, press the PAGE Button until you see the Satellite Page. Press the UP Button to make the screen darker, press the DOWN Button to make the screen lighter.

‘Route’ and Route Page
The eTrex allows you to navigate using one of three
methods:
• GOTO
• Route
• TracBack
The GOTO method of navigation was briefl y discussed on page 16. This section discusses the route method. The third method, TracBack, is discussed on page 28. In the eTrex, a route is at least two waypoints hat describe the path you are going to travel. The route feature is very convenient because it allows the eTrex to guide you from the fi rst waypoint in the route, to each successive waypoint until you reach your fi nal destination. The route feature and the GOTO feature are comparable in that they both guide you to destination waypoints.
However, the route feature is more powerful because it is more automatic. When you reach one waypoint, the eTrex automatically guides you to the next waypoint on the route without needing to touch any button. When you use the ‘GOTO’ feature you have to stop and select the next waypoint before you start moving. When you plan a trip, you can select waypoints from a waypoint list and put them into the eTrex’s memory. At least 2 waypoints (up to a maximum of 50) are linked together to form a route.
Routes
The ‘ROUTE’ feature is found on the ‘MENU’ Page.
When you start your trip, you activate the route feature and the receiver points the way you should travel to get from the fi rst waypoint to the second. You can then use the pointer page to give you steering guidance.
You can use existing waypoints to ‘build’ the route.
25
Page 28
Reference
Routes
You can insert a waypoint before an existing waypoint in the list or at the end of the waypoint list.
There are two ways to create a route:
1. Use existing waypoints that reside in the eTrex. Choose ‘ROUTE’ on the ‘MENU’ Page, then add a waypoint into the route from a list of available waypoints.
2. Plan a ‘ROUTE’ in MapSource on a PC, and upload the ‘ROUTE’ to the eTrex. See your GARMIN dealer for more information on using MapSource (MapSource is an optional accessory, and is not included with the eTrex).
In either case, you can navigate to a destination using ‘ROUTE’ if a route has more than two waypoints. A single waypoint route is only a normal waypoint, not a route. The eTrex will not allow the ‘FOLLOW’ button to be highlighted if there is only one waypoint in the route. When you select the ‘FOLLOW’ button, a list with two items is displayed letting you choose where to go. The list will always show the FIRST (BEGINNING) and the LAST (END) waypoint in the route. The eTrex will guide you to the selected fi nal destination following each waypoint in the route (eTrex has one route). There are two ways to insert a waypoint into a route. One way is to insert the waypoint before an existing waypoint in a route. The other way is to insert the waypoint at the end of the waypoint list in a route.
Press ‘FOLLOW’ to activate a route.

Track Logs
You need to save the track log fi rst before you can use the TracBack feature.
What is a Track Log?
The eTrex draws an electronic breadcrumb trail or ‘track log’ on the Map Page as you travel. The track log starts recording as soon as the eTrex gets a location fi x. If you want to keep a record of a certain track log before deleting it, go ahead and save it. You can save a total of ten tracks in the eTrex. Saved tracks can be used for navigation later. After a track log is saved, the saved track will have a beginning (BEGIN) and ending (END) point. This simply shows the “when/where” of the starting and ending points of the saved track.
When you are ready to return to where you started, the eTrex will take you back by following the track log that you left behind. ‘TracBack’ allows you to return along a traveled path without marking any waypoints. If you want to keep a record of a certain track log or use the ‘TracBack’ feature, it is recommended that you clear the track log before you start traveling. The percentage of memory used by the current track log is displayed at the top of the page. After the track log is ‘CLEARED’, it will show zero percent. When the display shows 99%, the most recent track points will start overwriting the least recent track points. Thus, in order to avoid losing any track points, you should save the track log before it reaches 99% of memory usage.
‘CLEAR’ the track log before starting a new trip.

Map Datums
A map datum is a reference model of the earth’s shape. Every map uses a map datum. The map datum is usually listed in the title block of the map. If you are comparing GPS coordinates to a paper map or other reference, the map datum in the eTrex should match the horizontal map datum used to generate the chart or other reference.
The default datum in the eTrex is WGS 84 (World Geodetic Survey, 1984). You should only change the datum if you are using maps or charts that specify a different datum than WGS 84. If no datum is specifi ed, you can select each datum applicable to your region until you fi nd the datum that provides the best positioning at a known point. You may also choose the “User” datum for use with custom-designed grids.

‘MAGNETIC’ north is the default north reference setting.
You can use GARMIN’S ‘MapSource®’ Map Data CD-ROMs to download waypoints, tracks, and routes.
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 amount of decli­nation changes as you move around the earth. Magnetic North is the direction in which a compass needle points. The eTrex bearings will correspond to the compass if the eTrex is set to magnetic north. Due to errors introduced when map makers fl atten the earth’s sphere onto paper, not all of the grid lines drawn on the map point exactly to the north pole, so the north indicated by the grid lines is called ‘Grid North’. But, the difference is usually small enough that ‘Grid’ north can be considered the same as True North for travelling on land. If necessary, you can correct for the difference between Grid North and True North manually.

GPS - the Global Positioning System - is a navigation revolution. It’s a technology that pinpoints a user’s location anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, regardless of the weather.
Designed by the United States’ Department of Defense for use by the military, the GPS System was made available to civilians for use in aviation, marine surveying and general outdoor/recreation markets. Today, millions of people utilize the accuracy and convenience of this amazing technology to hunt, fi sh, hike, fl y, cruise and sail. GPS consists of a constellation of 24 satellites orbiting some 12,000 miles above the earth.
These satellites transmit signals containing time and orbital data to calculate satellite position and almanac data. Meanwhile, receivers used on the ground, sea and air search the sky for the satellites. The GPS unit needs to acquire good signals from at least three satellites to determine a position on the surface of the earth. A fourth signal is required to get three-dimensional positioning which determines elevation or altitude.

Satellite Reception Tips
The basic steps in getting the eTrex ‘ready to navigate’ was covered on page 9. If the eTrex has problems with receiving satellite signals, you will be prompted to answer some questions. Please follow the steps that best describes your situation:
A. You are trying to use the eTrex indoors:
1. The message ‘TROUBLE TRACKING SATELLITES. ARE YOU INDOORS NOW?’ will appear. Press the UP or DOWN Button and highlight ‘YES’. Press ENTER. The message will disappear.
OR:
2. Go outside. The eTrex will keep tracking.
B. You are not indoors and you have not moved hundreds of miles/km since you last used your eTrex:
1. The message ‘TROUBLE TRACKING SATELLITES. ARE YOU INDOORS NOW?’ will appear. Press the UP or DOWN Button and highlight ‘NO’. Press ENTER.
2. eTrex then asks: ‘HAVE YOU MOVED HUNDREDS OF MILES/KM SINCE LAST USE?’ Press the UP or DOWN Button and highlight ‘NO’. Press ENTER.
3. eTrex asks: ‘IS TODAY dd-mmm-yy?’ If you answer ‘YES’ (the date matches the current date) the eTrex will continue tracking satellites and switch to the Satellite Page.
4. If you answer NO (the date is incorrect), the eTrex will do an ‘AUTOLOCATE’ and switch to the satellite page.
An ‘AUTOLOCATE’ forces the eTrex to search for any available satellite(s) to determine its (your) location.

Appendices
C. You are not indoors but you have moved hundreds of miles/km since you last used your eTrex:
1. The message ‘TROUBLE TRACKING SATELLITES. ARE YOU INDOORS NOW?’ will appear. Press the UP or DOWN Button and highlight ‘NO’. Press ENTER.
2. eTrex then asks: ‘HAVE YOU MOVED HUNDREDS OF MILES/KM SINCE LAST USE?’ Press the UP or DOWN Button and highlight ‘YES’. Press ENTER.
3
. eTrex will do an ‘AUTOLOCATE’ and switch to
the Satellite Page. This option is useful if you’ve relocated a distance greater than 500 miles from the last location the eTrex was used.
Appendix C
Reception Tips
The eTrex has a 12 parallel channel receiver for fast, accurate position fi xes, even under heavy foliage and tree canopy.

A simple way to determine your local time offset is how many hours you are behind or ahead of UTC (also called ‘Greenwich’ or ‘zulu’ time) Example: EST (Eastern Standard Time) is 5 hours behind UTC, so your offset would be -5. Adding one hour for daylight savings would make EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) -4. Subtract an hour for each time zone as you travel west.
Offsets for Continental U.S. would be: EST: -5 EDT: -4 CST: -6 CDT: -5 MST: -7 MDT: -6 PST: -8 PDT: -7

Interface formats are selected from the SETUP Page. The input/output lines on your eTrex are RS-232 compat­ible, allowing easy interface to a wide range of external devices, including PC’s, differential beacon receivers, marine autopilots and/or a second GPS receiver.
The NMEA 0183 version 2.0 interface format is supported by the eTrex and enables the unit to drive up to three NMEA devices.
NMEA 0183 Version 2.0 Approved Sentences:
GPGGA, GPGLL, GPGSA, GPGSV, GPRMB, GPRMC,
GPRTE, GPWPL, GPBOD
GARMIN Proprietary Sentences:
PGRME (estimated error), PGRMM (map datum),
PGRMZ (altitude), PSLIB (beacon receiver control)
DGPS (Differential GPS) corrections are accepted in RTCM SC-104 version 2.0 format through the ‘Data In’ line. The GARMIN GBR 21 is the recommended beacon receiver for use with the eTrex. Other beacon receivers with the correct RTCM format may be used, but may not correctly display status or allow tuning control from the GPS unit.

Troubleshooting
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 pointer on the Pointer 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 compass it cannot show you
which way you are facing while you are standing still.
eTrex coordinates do not match the location 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 Car Power Adapter (part number
F
010-10203-00) converts 12 VDC to 3 VDC output for the eTrex. This adapter is not interchangeable with car power adapters designed for the GARMIN VHF 720 and 725, GPS 170, 175, 190 and 195.

Appendices
Can I use the eTrex indoors?
No. The DEMO mode is available, but we suggest that only dealers use it.
Do I need to subscribe to a service to use the eTrex?
No. The GPS satellites are owned by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) and have been funded by U.S. taxpayers’ dollars. Reception of GPS satellite signals is free to everyone.
Does the eTrex work anywhere in the world and in any weather?
Yes.
How accurate is a GARMIN GPS?
The eTrex is accurate to within 15 meters without the DoD-imposed Selective Availability (S/A). Using differential techniques, the eTrex can be as accurate as 1-5 meters. The eTrex is accurate to within 100 meters under S/A.
Another factor that will effect the accuracy of the GPS receiver is the geometry of the satellites in view of the GPS receiver. A poor geometry situation can provide less accurate position readings, and this especially applies to GPS altitude measurements. The altitude reading on the GPS unit can vary by +/- 450 ft. depending on the level of degradation being imposed under S/A. It is not uncommon to see the altitude continuously drift up and down when S/A is being imposed.
