ETrex Legend CX Missing Distance to Coords

[+NYSandy23]

I haven't been caching in about a month and went out yesterday. I loaded caches as I normally do from the computer and when I got to the park and turned on my GPS I was stunned to find that the distance to the cache on the compass page was no longer there, replaced by satellite coordinates. Is this supposed to be? Is this happening to others or is this a problem of my unit alone? I dislike this because I have to back out of the page each time to see if I am getting close to the cache, as walking along the trail. It is like walking blind? Is there a way to fix this? Did I do something to my unit?

 

Thanks for any help you can give.

How many boxes do you have at the top of the compass page -- 2, 3 or 4? How many did you have before? Edited April 4, 2010 by ecanderson

I'm headed out for the rest of the day.

 

A suggestion.

 

Go to the compass page.

Press the lower button on the left side.

Go to "Data Fields" if you need to change the layout of the boxes.

Go to "Change Data Fields" if you need to change the content of the boxes.

I used to have two. Now I only have one across the top with the coords.
