Truly a small wonder, the eTrex®
takes the best features of a 12 parallel channel GPS receiver
and put them into a six ounce package that is only four inches
high and two inches wide. The result is a unit that will literally
fit in the palm of your hand.
Besides its small size, mariners
and outdoorsmen will likely notice the sleek design of the eTrex.
All buttons are located on either side of the unit, allowing
for simple, one-handed operation that won't obstruct your view
of the display. In fact, the eTrex features only five operator
buttons for the ultimate in user-friendly design. Thanks to
its bright yellow case, the eTrex will be hard to misplace and
easy to find in any boat or backpack. The eTrex is completely
waterproof so it can take an accidental splash or dunk in the
water and still continue to perform.
Inside the eTrex, you
will find the proven performance of a 12 parallel channel GPS
receiver that will run for 18 hours on just two AA batteries.
No need to worry about dense tree canopy with this unit, the
eTrex will continue to maintain a tight satellite lock even
while operating in forest-like conditions. The eTrex will store
up to 500 user waypoints with graphic icons and boasts Garmin's
exclusive TracBack™ feature that will reverse your track
log and help you navigate your way back home. In addition, the
eTrex uses animated graphics that will help you identify your
marked waypoints quickly and easily.
