WARNING: If you choose to use the eTrex Summit in a

vehicle, it is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator of

the eTrex Summit to secure the GPS unit so that it will not

cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident.

Do not mount the eTrex Summit over airbag panels or in a

place where the driver or passengers are likely to have an

impact with it in an accident or collision.

WARNING: If you choose to use the eTrex Summit

in a vehicle, it is the sole responsibility of the operator of

the vehicle to operate the vehicle in a safe manner,

maintain full surveillance of all driving conditions at all

times, and never become distracted by the eTrex Summit

to the exclusion of safe operating practices. It is unsafe to

operate the eTrex Summit while you are driving. Failure

by the operator of a vehicle equipped with an eTrex

Summit to pay full attention to operating the vehicle and

road conditions while the vehicle is in motion could result

in an accident or collision with property damage and

personal injury.

CAUTION: IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO

USE THIS PRODUCT PRUDENTLY. THIS PRODUCT IS

Introduction

Features

The eTrex Summit is a six ounce, 12 channel, hand held

GPS receiver. It has a built-in GPS antenna and only five

user-buttons. All buttons are located on either side of the

unit, allowing for simple, one-handed operation that won’t

obstruct your view of the display. It runs for up to 22

hours on two AA batteries in battery save mode.

The eTrex Summit contains a full function GPS,

electronic compass and barometric altimeter. The eTrex

Summit will track barometric pressure and altitude

changes providing data never before available in such a

small package. Using the built in compass the eTrex

Summit will provide you with a reliable heading even

while standing still. When moving the eTrex Summit will

provide you with other data including, speed, direction of

movement, time, distance to destination, and more.

From these basic features, your eTrex Summit can

provide one more critical benefit; peace of mind, because,

with the combination of these technologies you’ll know

where you are, where you’ve been and where you’re going.

And since you’ll always know the way back home, you can

concentrate on what you set out to do and enjoy the great

outdoors.

Other features include:

Waypoints: 500 with name and graphic symbol.

Tracks: Automatic track log; 10 saved tracks.

Route: Route lets you navigate up to 50 waypoints in

sequence.

Trip Computer: Current speed, average speed, maximum

speed, direction of movement, bearing, elevation, time of

sunrise/sunset, trip timer and trip odometer.

Elevation Computer: Total Ascent, total descent, average

ascent, average descent, maximum ascent, maximum

descent, pressure, 12 hour pressure trend, maximum

elevation, and minimum elevation.

NOTE: You should

always be prepared and

capable of navigating

without the eTrex

Summit. It is designed to

augment other forms of

basic navigation, not

entirely replace them.
