The Electronic Compass
When you manually turn the Compass Off, it stays off until you man-
ually turn it On again. Sometimes, however, when you turn the Compass
On, the eTrex Vista C overrides the Compass and uses the GPS receiver to
track your heading. The criteria for switching between the Compass and
the GPS can be customized (see below).
Turning the Electronic Compass On and Off:
1. Press and hold the QUIT button to turn the Electronic Compass
On or Off. A Compass icon displays in the Status Bar at the top
of the display when the Compass is On. When not in use, turn
the Electronic Compass off to conserve batteries. When the
Compass is Off, the unit uses the GPS receiver for navigation.
2. Hold the eTrex Vista C level to get an accurate Electronic Com-
pass reading. A “Hold Level” reminder displays if you are not
holding the Compass correctly, or if it is not calibrated. (See the
following page for calibration instructions.)
Setting the Speed and Time for Compass Auto On/Off:
1. From the Main Menu, highlight Setup and press ENTER to
display the Setup Menu.
2. Highlight the Heading icon and press ENTER to display the
Heading Setup Page.
3. Highlight the “Switch to compass heading when below...
eld, press ENTER and use the numeric keypad to enter the
desired speed. Highlight the “...for more than...” eld and press
ENTER to set the time delay from the time options list.
