eTrex Summit 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 fix:
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 55.
eTrex Summit coordinates do not match the
location on your map:
1. Check to make sure the eTrex Summit is configured to use
the same datum as your map. See page 32.
The Electronic Compass heading is incorrect:
1. Have you changed batteries? Remember that the
compass needs to be recalibrated every time that
the batteries are changed. See page 10 for the
compass calibration procedure.
2. Are you inside or around a devise that may radiate
a magnetic field? The compass will not operate
properly inside or around items that radiate a
magnetic field like metal buildings or cars.
3. Is the eTrex Summit using the GPS to provide
heading informaiton? Press and hold the
