littlefrog Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 I know this isn't exactly a geocaching question, but I am trying to find out how to clear out my new Garmin Legend's "maximum speed" data. I had the unit on while driving to a location, and the unit recorded a max speed of 46 mph. When I got to my destination, I wanted to use the Legend to see how fast I can paddle my kayak. Was unable to clear out the old max speed data, even w/turing off the unit for over and hour, then re-starting it. It kept saying Max Speed was 46 mph Any help on re-setting/clearing this? Thanks!

4x4van Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 (edited) Not sure if the Legend is the same, but on my son's ETrex yellow, from the Nav screen (pointer screen, compass dial, whatever you want to call it), hit enter, and it gives you options to reset max speed, reset trip, and stop navigation.

+Sparky-Watts Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Go to the Trip Computer, click the options (box next to page at top right corner), select Reset.....that will take you to an option box that will let you choose which parameters you would like to set back to zero.

Legend Tracker Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 On Page 30 of the owners manual.... 3. To activate individual "reset" options, highlight the item on the list and press in on the CLICK STICK to replace or remove the checkmark. Still learning here too Quote Link to comment

I did that (several times) , but it just highlighted the speed, then gave no further options. Pressed the click stick, scrolled back and forth, up and down, could not get any options for clearing it... Quote Link to comment
Vlad Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 after turning on the checkmark i believe you scroll down to the bottom and click reset... Quote Link to comment

That will take you to another message that asks if you are sure, etc. Quote Link to comment
Vlad Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 apply - yeah that's what i meant Quote Link to comment
littlefrog Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 after turning on the checkmark i believe you scroll down to the bottom and click reset... Not sure what you mean by "turn on the checkmark". The "max speed" window is at the lower left of the screen. I use the clickstick to highlight the words "max speed". The I press down on the clickstick. By doing that I get a window full of options, like bearing course current destination cuurrent distance current ETA etc etc About halfway down the list is "maxiumum speed". With that highlighted, I press the clickstick, hoping for an option to clear it. Instead the unit returns to the compass screen... There is nothing on the list called "apply" or "reset" What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment

There is no "apply" or "reset" anywhere on that scroll list. Help! Quote Link to comment
+Sparky-Watts Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Go to the Trip Computer, click the options (box next to page at top right corner), select Reset.....that will take you to an option box that will let you choose which parameters you would like to set back to zero. You have to be on the "Trip Computer" page to find the reset. Get to that page, then look in the upper right corner for the two small boxes. The furthest right box looks like a pile of "pages" the one right next to it looks like a single page with lines. Click on that one, and it will give you the options for the page. The first option is "Reset..." Click that one and it will show you what values you want to reset. Quote Link to comment

Thanks, your method worked perfectly, i was able to clear out the max speed value no problem. Thanks again! LF Quote Link to comment
+Sparky-Watts Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Glad I was able to help you when I did! Anything later may have taken several hours (or days) to get posted! Have fun and Happy Geocaching! Quote Link to comment
