Fundy Man Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 I have a Garmin etrex, is there someway to switch it so it reads in meters? Canadian Eh! Quote Link to comment
+EraSeek Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 I don't have an Etrex, but yes, certainly. Somewhere in your menus, maybe under something like 'Setup' you have the ablity to change it easily. Quote Link to comment
+apersson850 Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 If you can't figure it out, try reading the manual. It's there, somewhere... In the Summit, which has the same type of display as the yellow eTrex, there is a SETUP page. On that page, there is a UNITS selection. Go there and set it to meters. Anders Quote Link to comment

I remember hearing the same thing years ago in junior high. Still not there yet ( I think we're getting there nanometer by nanometer, not inch by inch ). It's very odd for me. As a scientist I deal with measurements in the metric system as standard in work pursuits. Then I have to deal with english measurements the rest of the time. It's annoying. Switch to metric as standard already! I'm not lost! I just don't know where I am. Quote Link to comment
+EraSeek Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Yes, please, let's convert. But I fear our government is too whimpy to take the step. Someone might complain (sheesh). Quote Link to comment
