On many Garmins.

Hold Enter while Turning the unit On. Goes into self test mode.

On Magellan Meridian series, Menu, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right will do that but you MUST know what 2 digit to use. Don't do anything other than 00-03 without reading up on it in the Yahoo user group for Magellan Meridians.

In an effort to get this thread back on track:

 

When projecting a waypoint on a Garmin 60/76/Legend Cx unit (MARK->MENU->Project Waypoint), it assumes that you want to project your distance in miles. But if you cursor over to the little 'mi' in the lower right corner and hit ENTR. A hidden menu pops up right there and lets you change the projection units to mi, ft, yd, km, m, nm. From there, you can select miles, feet, yards, kilometers, meters or nautical miles.

When you hold a Garmin eTrex Vista up to your ear, you can hear the sea - even when you are hundreds of kilometres inland! (Also works on basic yellow eTrex; believed to work on all eTrex models; have not yet had the chance to try it on the newer high-sensitivity / colour screen models.) :santa:

Ha! I should have known that one! That should really come in handy for geocaches that require you to project waypoints, such as GCB83A.
