Perhaps this will help, an etrex owners manual... http://www.garmin.com/manuals/eTrex_OwnersManual.pdf
Just one tip when beginning a walk let unit stay at the starting point, still for at least 5 min to acquire as many satellite signals as possible, better for accuracy.
Heavy cloud cover or thick forest canopy can be a problem with maintaining Sat Signal lock with some models, they say external antennas help.
