3. After you have made sure that the GPS unit is warmed up and that the units are in yards, 

     push the 

Page button 

until you reach the 

Trip computer page

. 

4. To measure the perimeter of an area, you will be working with        

     the trip odometer function of the trip computer page. 

5. Make sure that before you begin that the trip odometer is set to       

    “zero.” If the odometer is not set to zero, then here are the steps to 

    reset the odometer. 

 
  A. 

Use 

the 

Menu

 button to get the options for the trip   

     odometer page. 

 
  B. 

Press 

Enter 

to open the options page. This will open the  

     reset odometer page. If reset trip data is not selected,  

     then highlight it to check it and then  scroll down to  

     highlight the 

Apply

 button. Press 

Enter

 and this should  

             have reset you odometer.  

  C. 

Press 

Quit

 to get back to the trip computer page. 

6. Now that the 

Trip odometer 

is reset, you can start walking around 

    the perimeter of the area of interest. Notice that the odometer  

    changes as you walk, so this is a crude way to see the perime 

    ter of the desired area. Also note that it tells you how fast you are 

    going, how long you’ve been walking, and how long you have been 

    still.
