Garmin eTrex Legend Manuale Utente

16

     The Map Page shows your present position and 
direction of movement, as a triangular ‘Position Icon’, in 
the center of the map. As you travel, the map display 
leaves a “trail” (track log) of where you’ve been. 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.

  In many instances the map will display an ‘Accuracy 
Circle’ surrounding the ‘Position Icon’.  The eTrex Legend  
uses both map resolution and GPS accuracy in defi ning 
your location to a point within the circle. The smaller 
the circle, the more accurate your location. For the most 
accurate location information, refer to the Satellite Page.

  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 fi elds 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 
a GARMIN MapSource CD-ROM. When using MapSource 
data, the word ‘mapsource’ will appear below the map 
scale whenever you zoom in to view map details.

  The Map Page Options Menu allows you change the 
arrangement of page features, stop active navigation, pan 
the map, and customize the map itself to display features 
in a manner that meets your personal preferences.
