Garmin e Trex Vista C Hand Held
GPS
The eTrex Vista® C is Garmin's exciting, new, pocket-sized
handheld that brings color, automatic routing, longer battery life, plus more to
our popular-selling eTrex Vista. You won’t miss a thing when you take this
colorful, lightweight, easy-to-use handheld out hiking, biking, boating or even
geocaching. The eTrex Vista C along with the eTrex Legend C are Garmin's
smallest, least expensive products to combine a color TFT display and advanced
GPS routing capabilities in a waterproof design.
In addition to its distinguishing features — barometric
altimeter and electronic compass — outdoor enthusiasts will love the latest
improvements made to the eTrex Vista C:
256-color, sunlight-readable display makes it easy to
distinguish map details and see where you’re going
Automatic route
generation, off-route recalculation, turn-by-turn directions with alert tones,
and icon-driven menus for finding points of interest (when combined with
Garmin’s optional MapSource® CDs) navigate you safely to your destination
Longer battery life for more hours of outdoor enjoyment
Mini-USB port
for fast, convenient download of map data from Garmin’s entire library of
optional MapSource CDs using a PC
Of course the eTrex Vista C still includes
those popular features that users have come to love and expect in the eTrex
product line, such as a compact, lightweight, waterproof design and
user-friendly interface. It is WAAS-enabled, and like all eTrex units, the
primary controls are oriented on the side of the unit, so the user can
conveniently operate it with one hand. Also, an innovative rocker switch is
located on the face of the unit that enables the user to input data easily,
scroll through menus, or pan the map page.
