eTrex Legend H and eTrex Vista H Owner’s Manual 1

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the

Garmin

eTrex Legend

H or

eTrex Vista

H. These units

use the proven performance of

Garmin high-sensitivity GPS

and full-featured mapping to

create an unsurpassed portable

GPS receiver. The eTrex models

operate identically except that

the Vista H has an electronic

compass and a barometric

altimeter and the Legend H does

not. Take a moment to compare

the contents of this package with

the packing list on the box. If any

pieces are missing, contact your

Garmin dealer immediately.

from any page, press the

MENU key twice.

the GPS when not using the

eTrex for navigation. Decrease

the level of the display’s

backlight by quickly pressing

and releasing the POWER

key.
