Special Key Functions

 

Pages

Press and release the Page Button (B) to loop through display pages.
 
SkyView Map Pointer Elevation Menu Mark Waypoint

 

SkyView

The SkyView page displays (in animation) the eTrex Summit gathering the necessary satellite information to function.

A "Ready to Navigate" message will appear when the receiver has gathered information from a minimum of three satellites.

The current satellite receiver status and estimated positional accuracy are displayed at the top of the SkyView page.

The bottom of the SkyView page displays a signal strength bar to let you know when satellite signals are weak or when you need to move to a better location.

Press Enter (E) and select 'Advanced SkyView' (may require firmware update) to enable Advanced SkyView Mode (displays the position in the sky and signal strength for each satellite the unit is tracking).

 

Map

The Map page provides a picture of where you are, where you are going (path to destination), where you have been (track log), and waypoint names and symbols.

The eTrex rotates the Map page as you move such that waypoints that are ahead of you are displayed in front of the animated figure.

The North Pointer shows you which direction on the Map page is north.

Press and hold the Up (C) or Down (D) buttons to change the map scale as desired.

 

Pointer

The Pointer (Navigation) page helps guide you to a destination.

When moving without a destination selected, the upper data field displays your moving direction and speed.

When moving with a destination selected (navigating), the name of the destination waypoint, as well as distance and time to destination are displayed in the upper data field. Simply follow the Compass arrow to find your destination.

Press the Up (C) or Down (D) buttons to cycle the lower data field through available Trip Computer data:

  1. Speed - How fast you are moving.
  2. Average Speed - the Average speed traveled since last trip reset.
  3. Maximum Speed - the Maximum speed traveled since last trip reset.
  4. Heading - the Direction you are traveling.
  5. Bearing - the Compass direction from you current location to a destination.
  6. Elevation - the Measurement of height above mean sea level.
  7. Location - Current position coordinates.
  8. Sunrise - the Time of sunrise at your current location.
  9. Sunset - the Time of sunset at your current location.
  10. Trip Time - Total time traveled since last trip reset.
  11. Trip Odometer - Total distance traveled since last trip reset.

 

Elevation

The Elevation page displays a graph of elevation changes over distance or time.

The upper data field displays current elevation and rate of ascent/descent.

Press the Up (C) or Down (D) buttons to cycle the lower data field through available elevation data:

  1. Total Ascent - Total distance ascended since last reset.
  2. Total Descent - Total distance descended since last reset.
  3. Average Ascent - Average distance of ascents since last reset.
  4. Average Descent - Average distance of descents since last reset.
  5. Maximum Ascent Rate - Maximum ascent rate in feet per minute since last reset.
  6. Maximum Descent Rate - Maximum descent rate in feet per minute since last reset.
  7. Local Pressure - Current local pressure.
  8. 12 Hour Barometric Pressure Trend - Tracks pressure changes over a 12 hour period.
  9. Maximum Elevation - Highest elevation reached since last reset.
  10. Minimum Elevation - Lowest elevation reached since last reset.
