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.
