Legend HCx Profile mystery

[+star-geezer]

I have my new Legend HCx loaded w/ the new s/w ver 2.3 (yes, the WAAS problem is fixed). On page 19 of the manual there's an option for viewing a "track profile" created from the elevation readings of the track points. But danged if I can figure this out on my unit. There's no mention that this is exclusive to the electronic altimeter on other units. This is either a new option from the Cx (which I also own) but doesn't work, or a misprint in the skimpy manual that came w/ my unit. I'd appreciate any insight anyone can provide.

Thanks, Star-geezer

On the Venture Cx the profile option only works if you have Topo 2008 maps loaded. It uses elevation info from the maps to create a profile of a route.

I've only ever seen the track log elevation profile on the sensor equipped Garmin handhelds like the vista and summit. I notice that the manual lists both the Legend and Vista HCx on the front, so they are probably referring to the vista for that aspect, though it would be nice for the manual to note that in that section.
