I can't see that.  Set-up offers me time, display, units, interface and 
system.  None of them refer to interval.

Obviously I have the wrong model.  This is an eTrex H, and it doesn't look as 
though I can affect the interval at all.  USB is not an option either, 
although there's a mode 'Text' which might do the job.  I've not had much
