WARNING: If you choose to use the eTrex in a
vehicle, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator
of the eTrex to secure the GPS unit so that it will not cause
damage or personal injury in the event of an accident.
Do not mount the eTrex over airbag panels or in a place
where the driver or passengers are likely to have an
impact with it in an accident or collision.
WARNING: If you choose to use the eTrex in a
vehicle, it is the sole responsibility of the operator of the
vehicle to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain
full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and
never become distracted by the eTrex to the exclusion
of safe operating practices. It is unsafe to operate the
eTrex while you are driving. Failure by the operator of
a vehicle equipped with an eTrex to pay full attention
to operating the vehicle and road conditions while the
vehicle is in motion could result in an accident or
collision with property damage and personal injury.
CA TION: IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO
USE THIS PRODUCT PRUDENTLY. THIS PRODUCT IS
INTENDED TO BE USED ONLY AS A TRAVEL AID AND
MUST NOT BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE REQUIRING
PRECISE MEASUREMENT OF DIRECTION, DISTANCE,
LOCATION, OR TOPOGRAPHY.
CA TION: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is
operated by the government of the United States, which
is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance.
The system is subject to changes which could affect the
accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment.
Although the eTrex is a precision electronic NAVigation
AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinter-
preted and, therefore, become unsafe.
CA TION: Electronics are protected if immersed, but
battery compartment may get wet. Make sure batteries
and compartment are dry before using.
Remove the batteries from
your eTrex if you don’t
expect to use it for several
months. Be sure to
observe the proper
polarity when inserting
the batteries. Follow the
battery manufacturer’s
instructions on the proper
care and handling of the
batteries.

The eTrex is a six ounce, 12 channel, hand held
GPS receiver. It has a built-in GPS antenna and only fi ve
user-buttons. All buttons are located on either side of
the unit, allowing for simple, one-handed operation that
won’t obstruct your view of the display. It runs for 22
hours on two AA alkaline batteries in battery save mode.
In addition to determining your location, the eTrex
will create, name and save a location (as an electronic
waypoint) in its memory, allowing you to navigate back to
this point any time you want. And once you start moving,
your GPS provides other data, like speed, direction of
movement, time and distance to destination, and more.
From these basic features, your GARMIN GPS can
provide one more critical benefi t; peace of mind, because,
with GPS you’ll know where you are, where you’ve been
and where you’re going. And since you’ll always know the
way back home, you can concentrate on what you set out
to do and enjoy the great outdoors.
Other features include:
Waypoints: 500 with name and graphic symbol.
Tracks: Automatic track log; 10 saved tracks
let you retrace your path in both
directions.
Route: Route lets you navigate up to 50
waypoints in sequence.
Trip Computer: Current speed, average speed,
maximum speed, direction of
movement, bearing, elevation, time
of sunrise/sunset, trip timer and trip
odometer.
OTE: You should
always be prepared and
capable of navigating
without the eTrex. It
is designed to augment
other forms of basic
navigation, not entirely
replace them.
