It is under tracks on the Etrek H. Select tracks. Then SETUP (under
tracks) . Second menu option is RECORD INTERVAL. Options are
DISTANCE|TIME|AUTO.

As others have said, the etrek H is serial only: no USB.

And the etrek H is the most suitable Garmin model for mapping.

You need to explore the menus a bit more. Often things are down several
levels in the menus.
